We’ll also give these connected photos the same privacy controls, including face and license-plate blurring treatment that you see in the regular Street View photos that Google captures. For example, we can use the information in Street View imagery to update Google Maps with details like the names and addresses of businesses that aren’t currently on the map and maybe even their publicly posted open hours. We then place those connected images in the right place on Google Maps, so your new Street View can be found in the exact location where it was taken for others to see and explore.Īs with our other imagery, these pictures will help make Google Maps more accurate and up-to-date for everyone.
After you record your images and publish them via the Street View app, we automatically rotate, position and create a series of connected photos. These images are captured using ARCore, the same augmented reality technology we use to produce experiences like Live View. Using our new connected photos tool in the app, you can record a series of connected images as you move down a street or path. With our updated Street View app on Android, it’s now easier than ever to collect your own Street View imagery and put it in the right place on Google Maps. When people find out that I work on Street View, the first thing they ask is, "How can I drive the Street View car?" Sadly, we don’t loan out those iconic vehicles, but what if any car could become a Street View car? Better yet, what if anyone could contribute to Street View, using only their phone?
