Ohayo Minasan, It means good morning, everyone in Japanese. Why am I typing in Japanese? Because I CAN! I am the blogger after all. So I can type whatever I want. Its called Kebebasan Bersuara. Of course you bebas bersuara, but after you bersuara you won't be bebas...Why do I always start my blog with being out of topic..? Same question I ask myself every single day...And I just obtained the answer today, which is BECAUSE I CAN!!! Muahahahahahaha.
Back to business, Am pretty sure most of you people out there heard of Google Street View, It allows an immersive view of an Landscape. Technology is getting pretty cooler and cooler day by day, if this keeps up. We might be able to stroll at a park without even leaving our computer. Now that is a future I am waiting for.. Maybe I can go to class without even leaving the comfort of my sofa...Oh wait There have a technology for that already...
Anyway, As some of you might know and some of you might not know and some of you might not even care in the first place, but I live in a Country called Malaysia. Some people in the world might not have heard of it in the. But Malaysia is located north of Singapore and South of Thailand, Google it up if you don't know. Google is everything now days anyway. Don't know the answer for something. Google it up. And thus the main question arise..When will Google Street View is available in Malaysia. Before that, lets dive in more detail about Google Street View should we? As you know Google Street View snaps a full 360 sphere shaped photo and combine all of them to create a virtual environment where you can navigate.
There are plenty of way Google did this trick. They mount a camera on top of a car and drive it around while the camera constantly snapping pictures all around it. But that is not the only way, there are tons of other ways Google was able to achieve this. Such as mounting a Camera on a back of a person. And that certain person can stroll around a park while the Camera constantly snap pictures. |
