If you’ve wondered what our cities would look like post-apocalypse, a new hack for Google Maps gives you a peek of what that world would be like. Urban Jungle Street View gives you a look into concrete jungles filled with vegetation and whatnot. Einar Öberg designed the experiment with the use of Google Street View’s depth data. It helped him plot the grasses and trees on the road and have ivy crawling up buildings. It can supposedly work in any location but you would probably see greater effects in city centers.
