earthmine uses technology licensed from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to capture 3D data at regular intervals while driving[3]. This data is then processed to create a library of 3D panoramic imagery.[4] In May, 2009, earthmine introduced "Wild Style City" [5], a web based model of San Francisco with surfaces where vistors can add graffiti to virtual walls.
