SimRosario: a young man recreated Rosario with AI in the style of SimCity
Agustín Abraham, a young man from Rosario, created SimRosario, a platform that turns real aerial photographs of the city into an illustrated map with the aesthetic of the SimCity video game. He started from oblique Google Maps images taken between 2012 and 2013 and trained AI models, with manual review, to illustrate 2,308 sectors. The result is an image of about 48,000 by 52,000 pixels, split into tiles so it can be browsed from a computer or phone.
