Time to spruce up your house, Google is here and they’re going to take pictures!
The tech company is using cars, backpacks and push carts to cover the logistical challenge that is Metro Manila. Each vehicle will have devices “to show you what your destination looks like with panoramic, street-level photographs,” says country marketing manager Ryan Morales.
“As a jump-off, it will focus on capturing Street View imagery in Metro Manila, specifically Intramuros, a walled area in the heart of Manila that’s abundant with historical landmarks,” reports TechinAsia.com.
“Filipinos will be able to see Google’s colorful Street View cars on the streets of Metro Manila. But apart from that, it will also use a wearable backpack camera system called Street View Trekker and a pushcart camera called Street View Trolley to capture more locations that may not be reached by its cars,” the report continues.
The effort is in collaboration with the our local tourism board. Click the video below to see how Google Street View works.
