Street View – Google Maps

Street View – Google Maps
Alright everyone. Despite my complete melt-down further up in this comments thread, I need to put something out there. Disclosure first: although I have access to certain sources, I (and my business) am independent of Google but have direct dealings with Google. I have NDAs that prohibit me from disclosing certain things. August didn't go according to plan, completely. YouTube was very quick to adopt 360° video but YouTube is comparatively MUCH smaller than Google Maps and incorporating 360° video didn't require a major overhaul because it's still a niche and people are more forgiving of products that serve a niche. 360° photography, on the other hand, has moved from niche to mainstream and made the Street View brand (when tied directly and only to Maps) irrelevant very quickly. Transparency is crucial to Google's success. I think that's about it for now, believe me when I say that I'm not happy with the execution of this AT ALL.

Street View goes to the Amazon With Google Street View, you can do amazing things such as hike around Stonehenge or even ski down Whistler’s slopes—all without leaving home. Soon, you’ll be able to float down the Amazon and Rio Negro Rivers of northwest Brazil and experience some of the most remote and biodiverse areas in the world. A few members of our Brazil and U.S. Street View and Google Earth Outreach teams are currently in the Amazon rainforest using our Street View technology to capture images of the river, surrounding forests and adjacent river communities. We’ll pedal the Street View trike along the narrow dirt paths of the Amazon villages and maneuver it up close to where civilization meets the rainforest.

Google adds Helicopter view to Google Maps Google adds Helicopter view to Google Maps Google Maps are now enabled with helicopter view which allows you to view the route in an interactive 3d animation that can be paused and replayed too. Although only a select few might actually travel using a helicopter but helicopter view gives a nice aerial view of the area you will be passing through. User can choose any mode of transport and then choose to view the 3D animation of the route. If you like a particular area in your travelling route, you can pause the 3D animation and can explore that particular area in detail. Google Maps Engineer ‘Paul Yang’ posted on Google Lat Long Blog “Getting directions is one of the most popular features on Google Maps, whether it be for driving, walking, biking or transit. Step1 : Plan the route To view any route in Helicopter view, firstly go ahead and search for a route for e.g “Statue of Liberty, NY to Times Square Towers, New York, NY” and click ‘Get Directions’.

Google Takes Street View Photography into the Wild with Camera Backpacks Google has already photographed quite a bit of our world using a fleet of cars, submarine-style cameras, tricycles, and snowmobiles, so what else is there to include in Street View? Places where vehicles can’t go, of course. The company has begun capturing 360-degree imagery using the Trekker — a special backpack with a Street View camera rig sticking up from the top. The special new 40-pound rig will allow Street View to include panoramas from places like mountains, jungles, hiking trails, ancient ruins, and much more. Google published this short teaser for the rig back in June to give the world an idea of what it’s planning: Nathan Olivarez-Giles of Wired explains what the rig comprises and how it works: The Trekker is basically a smaller version of the equipment the Google uses in its Street View cars — a cluster of 15 camera lenses, each respective lens with a resolution of 5 megapixels, shooting a photo every 2.5 seconds.

I've been trying to explain exactly what it is to people ever since, but haven't had much luck. According to their website, it's a "13000-square-foot fantasy-themed labrynth (we call it the quadrasphere)." If you intend to visit this place in the near future, maybe don't read this blog. These photos make this place look crappy, but that's just because I didn't realize I'd be blogging about Wizard Quest, so the camera I took along wasn't really up to the job. Anyway, this is where our adventure started: in a library room with talking, mystical plasma screen picture frames. Once the mystical plasma screens had explained our mission to us (something about freeing four wizards trapped in elemental realms) this bookcase opened up into a "vortex tunnel." And we were welcomed into the magical kingdom!!!!! Or, if your vagina is too large, by going down these stairs. And yayyyyyy!
