Step inside any building on Google Earth to see the view
Ever shown up to an apartment only to find the "city view" is a brick wall? Window View lets you step inside any building on Google Earth and look out the window. Pick a floor, drop a window on any wall, and see exactly what's outside. A sun path overlay shows you when sunlight actually hits throughout the year. Free, open source, no account needed.
I built this from my own apartment hunt needs, as I was surprised that there are no similar tools online at all! With this tool, I was finally able to check exactly which floors and units of the apartment building have satisfactory view, privacy and sunlight, without having to guess.
Now, for your apartment hunt, you can:
👀 See the outside view from a specific floor or unit.
🏙 Check obstructions by other buildings.
☀ View year-round daily sun exposure.
🔗 Send the exact 3D view to roommates or brokers via URL.
Window View is powered by Google Maps Photorealistic 3D Tiles (through Cesium ion) and CesiumJS. Feel free to contribute or open issues for any features you want to see! https://github.com/wengh/window-...
