Brick Street View makes your street look like Lego!

Swedish designer Einar Öberg created a 'Lego' style Google Street View called 'Brick Street View' by using code to add a layer of Lego on top of Street View
Posted by: admin , May 11, 2015
  • Swedish designer Einar Öberg has created a blocky ‘Lego’ view of any road in the world by using code to add a layer of Lego on top of Google Street View.
  • Once the Lego ‘pegwoman’ is dropped into position, Einar’s ‘Brick Street View‘ converts the view into pixelated mosaic form, which gives the effect of Lego bricks, roads, cars and landmarks.
  • If you would like to know more about the process used to create the effect, Einar has provided a detailed summary of the software techniques used here.
  • Einar previously created ‘Urban Jungle’ Street View where streets appear to be overrun by nature, giving a post-apocalyptic feel to the view.
