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. These are my words and should be taken as only that. 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.

Google maps ahora nos permite explorar el océano Hay un montón de cosas para hablar sobre Google Maps e iOS 6 en este momento, pero Google ha literalmente sumergido esa charla a fondo del océano por los momentos. 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. El servicio está todavía en sus inicios, y relativamente limitados en cuanto a los lugares que son compatibles, pero se pueden contemplar las maravillas acuáticas siguientes, sin necesidad de tener que mojarnos: Os dejo un vídeo introductorio: 0Share

Welcome to Glinkr 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. 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

ArkGIS - Exploring the Arctic ASCII.jp - トップ Web Designer Wall - Design Process of WDW Usually, I keep the sketches of every project I designed and use them as simple documentation. Sometime I might refer back to the old sketches for ideas and references. Here I would like to share my development process of Web Designer Wall with you. Concepting The design you see now is not my original concepts. Computer desk My initial concept was to have a computer desk with an iMac or G5, bookshelves, magazines, plants, sticky notes, and a pull-down tag cloud. Photoshop comp Here was my first comp of the wall concept. Another direction Later, I saw a flower sketch that I drew (for fun) long time ago and I thought it might work on my design. Final Finally, I decided to use the flower design and traced it in Illustrator.

Dive into the Great Barrier Reef with the first underwater panoramas in Google Maps Today we’re adding the very first underwater panoramic images to Google Maps, the next step in our quest to provide people with the most comprehensive, accurate and usable map of the world. With these vibrant and stunning photos you don’t have to be a scuba diver—or even know how to swim—to explore and experience six of the ocean’s most incredible living coral reefs. Now, anyone can become the next virtual Jacques Cousteau and dive with sea turtles, fish and manta rays in Australia, the Philippines and Hawaii. Get up close and personal with sea turtles at Heron Island, Great Barrier Reef Starting today, you can use Google Maps to find a sea turtle swimming among a school of fish, follow a manta ray and experience the reef at sunset—just as I did on my first dive in the Great Barrier Reef last year. You can also find out much more about this reef via the World Wonders Project, a website that brings modern and ancient world heritage sites online. Explore more underwater images

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." 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. With the help of the Polar Geospatial Center at the University of Minnesota and the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust, we’ve added 360-imagery of many important spots, inside and out, such as the South Pole Telescope, Shackleton's hut, Scott’s hut, Cape Royds Adélie Penguin Rookery and the Ceremonial South Pole. The landscape outside of Robert Falcon Scott’s supply hut conveys just how desolate the area is.
