Google Maps zoom: here’s the device and vehicle behind it
Xeni Jardin:
A new street-level zoom feature on Google Maps debuted recently, to much freakout and fanfare (previous BB posts: 1, 2). The company performing the drive-by surveillance and image capture services for Google is Immersive Media, and here’s a blog post from the PR guy who reps them. What a scary/cool little 11-sided camera that is on the “Street Level View-Mobile.”
As for the resulting map details, I don’t know whether I’m more terrified or delighted. Mostly delighted, because my house hasn’t shown up in a close-up yet. (posted from the road in Central America / Xeni)
