Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Google's new Street View camera is more portable (and looks weirdly
cute)
Google’s Street View is a virtual representation of our surroundings on
Google Maps with millions of panoramic images. Over the last 15 years, more than
10 million miles have been mapped. These images have been collected by cameras
on cars, bicycles, backpacks, snowmobiles, and even sheep in remote places like the Faroe Islands. You might have seen one of those cameras on a car or backpack
once in a while. Now, Google recently revealed a new Street View camera that
weighs only one-tenth of the current version. Great news for Google’s backpackers (and
sheep)! Also, it can be mounted on a car’s roof rack without customization so
that it can be used on many more kinds of cars. Because of the new compact
design, the company hopes to collect pictures in remote places more frequently,
which is great news for all of us, too.
As more people are traveling again, this renovation is going to be
appreciated by many.
Enjoy reading the article and watching the video to learn about behind
the scene technology of the popular Google Map.
