Android applications have been using 3D technology for sometime now and, like other 3D smartphones, have caught the attention of users on the mobile platform compared with others. The main reason is because they do not require wearing any special glasses to view, as is needed for 3D tablets and bigger screens such as 3D television. This advantage has resulted in enhanced user experience, especially in game applications. Very soon, it is location based applications such as Google Earth and Google Maps that will be viewed in 3D. Lately, Google Maps is also available offline on Android phones, which comes as a blessing when present in areas where connectivity is either weak or absent.
The aerial photography of Street View on Google Maps and Goggle Earth requires taking pictures from air and land, transport that include car mounted cameras to tricycles, then walking with backpacks–all around the globe– in narrow lanes, down ski slopes on snowmobiles and trekking over mountains and valleys. The photographs are then intrinsically ‘stitched’ to appear as connected paths. The camera lens turns in nine different directions to capture various angle shots.
A few months ago, Google initiated underwater photography as well, and now intends to cover beneath all five oceans. To ensure that no human faces appeared accidentally in their photographs, they used face-blurring technology before they featured the view. The features keep improving with high quality imagery and now, 3D visuals.
Considering the investment that went into creating one of the world’s most popular technology applications, namely a high level of expertise, millions of dollars in cost, over five years duration and immeasurable amount of effort, instead of appreciating this invaluable service, it is the second time media has targeted their mapping applications. It is very unfortunate indeed. Is it so that their competitors can monetize through the exact services? Maybe.
But while obtaining passwords via Wi-Fi from their Street View cars are proven as deliberate attempt accidental remains to be seen, it is not stopping them in their path as they continue to venture forth and spanning every corner of the world.
