I figured the way Google Street View has been so far. Street view cars began to run in five cities in 2007 and in 2008 started "Street View Trike" with a camera on a tricycle. In 2011, we shot not only the road, but also inside the museum.


You can check the street view car and trekker from the following article.

On the other hand, we launched the Google Street View Trekker, a place where people can not run a car, with people carrying a camera walking and taking pictures. In 2013, the volunteer staff took a street-view camera back and announced the "Trekker Loan Program" to have them take a picture of the "best place" they know.

In addition, the "Photo Sphere" function that can post panoramic photos taken with smartphones has also been developed.

Initially it is Street View, which was filming only the urban roads, but we will start shooting deeper places more rapidly with the above techniques and human power. This made it possible to experience like traveling around the world just by having a PC.
