Lascaux La découverte de Lascaux en 1940 a ouvert une nouvelle page dans la connaissance de l’art préhistorique et de nos origines. Œuvre monumentale, la grotte continue de nourrir l’imaginaire collectif et d’émouvoir les nouvelles générations du monde entier. C’est à ce haut lieu de la Préhistoire qu’est dédiée la nouvelle publication multimédia du ministère de la Culture et de la Communication, publication qui réactualise autant la forme que le contenu scientifique de ce site mis en ligne en 1998, à la lumière des dernières avancées de la recherche archéologique. Au delà de l’émotion et à la lumière des recherches les plus récentes, le site internet est destiné à faire comprendre les secrets des artistes qui ont peint et gravé le bestiaire de Lascaux il y a 19000 ans et à présenter les orientations actuelles de la recherche scientifique sur les grottes ornées.

How to Create a Time-Lapse Movie with Google Street View This tutorial describes how you can quickly create a time-lapse movie using Street View imagery from Google Maps and publish it to YouTube in HD. I made a short time-lapse movie today using Street View images from Google Maps and playing them all in a quick sequence with some background music. The end result, as you may have noticed in the video, is quite similar to the view that you would get if you were actually driving on that road while sitting inside the Street View car. This may have some practical uses. For instance, you can create a time-lapse of the route between the airport and your business, add voice narration to mention the important landmarks on that route, and people are then less likely to call you for directions. To get started, you would obviously need hundreds of Street View images. Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. That’s it.

SEE ALSO: Top 28 Google Street View Sightings The Google Street View (GSV) car, fitted with 15 directional cameras, captures panoramas from over 30 countries – but not without controversy. Aaron Hobson’s Cinemascapes project helps to remind us that Google’s mapping tool still has its virtues. And his photo collections are only the beginning. 1. Photographer Aaron Hobson has combed GSV to find breathtaking images of mountain passes, crossroads and forests heavy with fog. Hobson became “addicted to this world of virtual travel” after using GSV to scout locations for a film he is directing in Los Angeles. 2. 3. 4. 5.
