[4eyes] Google program to borrow Street View equipment

[Domagoj]

Tobias mentioned that the lab would be getting Google Glass. There
could be some interesting ways to combine the two systems, or at least
using data gathered from the Trekker for a project using Glass. That
might interest Google and help with the application for a Trekker.

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?).

instance, somebody in Kansas could walk the Thousand Steps [1] remotely.
Or scientists could use this data for geography, monitoring the tides,
corrosion on mountains and cliffs, etc. Lots of neat stuff!
