ワルシャワのボクセルマップが思い出させてくれた、立体視を諦めていた自分の視界

ワルシャワのボクセルマップが思い出させてくれた、立体視を諦めていた自分の視界 Hacker News で「ワルシャワのボクセル化──インタラクティブな3Dマップ」が 19 位に上がっていたのを、通勤電車のなかでスマホで開いた。建物の高さ、通りの幅、公園の緑がボクセル(立体ピクセル)の積み重ねで再現され、マウスドラッグひとつで視点をぐるぐる回せる。平面地図では決して伝わらない「空間の厚み」が、ブラウザのなかで勝手に立ち上がってくる感覚──。 画面をスクロールしながら、ふと思い出した。自分にも、ずっと「平面」でしか見えてこなかった世界があったことを。 片眼だけの世界で育った 小学校の視力検査で「右目 0.1、左目…

The user's vision improved, allowing them to see depth and distance more clearly in their daily life. The author encourages others who feel they have given up on seeing in three dimensions to try Amblyotube for a few minutes to potentially restore their perception of depth.
