Vincent Woo has released an astounding 3D model of Sutro Tower in San Francisco. Sutro Tower in 3D is a fully interactive representation of the city's 977-foot (298-meter) tall radio and television transmission tower. The model was created using thousands of aerial images of the tower, all captured by drone. These images were then processed into a fully interactive 3D model, thanks largely to Gaussian splatting.
Because the model is interactive, you can fly around the tower and zoom in and out to examine any detail of the 977-foot-tall structure. It even includes interactive markers that, when clicked, provide information on various features of the tower.
If you want to experience the views from the top of Sutro Tower, you can explore three gigapixel images taken from the tower by Explore Sutro Tower. These annotated images offer a panoramic view of San Francisco as seen from the tower’s peak. Explore Sutro Tower also provides a guided tour featuring its own detailed 3D model of the transmission tower.
