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

Alguém no departamento de parques decidiu que a vista precisava de uma placa, então um painel de madeira esculpida agora fica entre o visitante e aquilo que vieram ver. Prospect Point vinha informando aos turistas seu próprio nome desde o início do século, sob a sólida teoria cívica de que um mirante sem placas indicativas é apenas um penhasco.

The historian's note

Prospect Point é o ponto mais alto do Stanley Park, na ponta norte da península de Vancouver, com vista para o First Narrows. A Ponte Lions Gate, inaugurada em 1938 para conectar Vancouver aos municípios da North Shore, é visível atravessando os narrows em direção às montanhas da North Shore.
