Off by default. Turning it on lets the image respond to your cursor with a shallow sense of depth, rebuilt from a depth map computed when the image was catalogued. It is an interpretation for looking, not a measured 3D model — and it falls back to the flat image where the browser can't render it.

On the image

Alguien en el departamento de parques decidió que la vista necesitaba un rótulo, así que un letrero de madera tallada se erige ahora entre el visitante y aquello que vino a ver. Prospect Point ha estado informando a los turistas sobre su propio nombre desde principios de siglo, bajo la sólida teoría cívica de que un mirador panorámico sin señalización es simplemente un acantilado.

The historian's note

Prospect Point es el punto más alto del Stanley Park, en la punta norte de la península de Vancouver, con vista al First Narrows. El puente Lions Gate, inaugurado en 1938 para conectar Vancouver con los municipios de North Shore, es visible atravesando los narrows hacia las montañas de North Shore.
