Views - Google Maps. Alright everyone. Despite my complete melt-down further up in this comments thread, I need to put something out there. Disclosure first: although I have access to certain sources, I (and my business) am independent of Google but have direct dealings with Google. I have NDAs that prohibit me from disclosing certain things. I will mind my manners and my NDAs in writing this. August didn't go according to plan, completely.

YouTube was very quick to adopt 360° video but YouTube is comparatively MUCH smaller than Google Maps and incorporating 360° video didn't require a major overhaul because it's still a niche and people are more forgiving of products that serve a niche. 360° photography, on the other hand, has moved from niche to mainstream and made the Street View brand (when tied directly and only to Maps) irrelevant very quickly. Transparency is crucial to Google's success. I think that's about it for now, believe me when I say that I'm not happy with the execution of this AT ALL.

El gigante de las búsquedas ha lanzado una nueva característica que trae imágenes bajo el agua para su servicio de Google Maps, permitiendo a los usuarios hacer submarinismo virtual en la Gran Barrera de Coral, Filipinas y Hawai. Me impresionó bastante cuando Google nos trajo imágenes de 360º panorámicas de la Antártida hace poco y, asimismo, la introducción de los mapas bajo el agua es uno de esos momentos en que Internet fue construido para permitir – a millones de personas tener un gusto personal de algunas de las vistas más espectaculares del mundo.

Google ahora nos permite explorar la Antártida con imágenes panorámicas. Desde el blog oficial de Google me llega una nueva noticia, esta vez dirigida a todos los que nos gusta explorar el mundo mediante imágenes panorámicas. En la nota Google recuerda que: En el invierno de 1913, un periódico británico publicó un anuncio para promover la última expedición a la Antártida imperial, al parecer colocado por el explorador polar Ernest Shackleton.

La nota decía: Se buscan hombres para viaje peligroso. Los bajos salarios, frío intenso, largas horas de oscuridad total. El regreso seguro es dudosa, pero honor y reconocimiento en caso de éxito es una promesa. Pues bien ahora no hace falta más que tener una conexión a Internet, ya que Google nos deja convertirnos en exploradores de la Antártida con imágenes panorámicas. Las imágenes panorámicas de los lugares históricos de la Antártida los tenemos en World Wonders site. Share. Dive into the Great Barrier Reef with the first underwater panoramas in Google Maps.

Become an Antarctic explorer with panoramic imagery. In the winter of 1913, a British newspaper ran an advertisement to promote the latest imperial expedition to Antarctica, apparently placed by polar explorer Ernest Shackleton. It read, "Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success. " While the ad appears apocryphal, the dangerous nature of the journey to the South Pole is certainly not—as explorers like Roald Amundsen, Robert Falcon Scott and Shackleton himself discovered as they tried to become the first men to reach it.

Back in September 2010, we launched the first Street View imagery of the Antarctic, enabling people from more habitable lands to see penguins in Antarctica for the first time.
