New Google Street View helps you explore hidden treasures of the world
Those who are struck
with wanderlust can now explore the globe from the comfort of their
homes, as long as they have access to the internet.Google's Street View
is heading down the Amazon to capture pictures of “some of the most
remote and biodiverse areas in the world”, according to its official
blog.
According to the
Sunday Times newspaper, the Street View has so far filmed a 30-mile
stretch of from the town of Tumbira along the Rio Negro, the world’s
second-longest river from northeast Brazil, Moon Bay in the South
Shetland Islands of western Antarctica and, reports the Daily Mail.
The cameras can shoot in 360 degrees, motion sensors and lasers to capture 3-D images and distances.
Armchair adventurers
will not only be to able to gaze at the Amazon, they’ll be able to peek
inside buildings as the camera has filmed some villages and paths that
lead into the thick jungle.
Named Amazon Street View, the images will be available from November.
But those who have
been lucky enough to explore the depths of the Brazilian rainforest say
the online pictures simply cannot compare to the real thing.
Speaking to paper,
Matt Brandon, a TV producer who filmed with presenter Bruce Parry in the
Amazon, said: “I think it’s great for everyone to be able to see the
Amazon in this way.
“If you're fortunate enough to able to actually go there, then you
should grab it with both hands,” he added.
