[4eyes] Google program to borrow Street View equipment

[Matthew Turk]

Perhaps a group application to map UCSB, Goleta beach, and other SB
locations.

 

It looks heavy - anyone know the weight? Dick Lyons from Google who helped
to design the camera rig gave a talk at a CVPR workshop last week.

If anybody is interested in making a joint application/proposal let me know.
There's tons of use for this sort of data. I'd like to use it to map several
areas that are not often covered: beaches, hiking trails, and other
interesting places (the courthouse and/or the mission?). 

 

It would be neat to be able to design an interface with AR to explore these
sorts of areas. For instance, somebody in Kansas could walk the Thousand
Steps <http://www.santabarbaraview.com/one-thousand-steps-beach/>  remotely.
Or scientists could use this data for geography, monitoring the tides,
corrosion on mountains and cliffs, etc. Lots of neat stuff!

Google is offering to lend their backpack-based Street View equipment.
