![]() ![]() Without further ado, here are 36 weird photos captured on Google Street View from Jon Rafman’s collection with a couple of our own finds. It was tempting to see the images as a neutral and privileged representation of reality-as though the Street Views, wrenched from any social context other than geospatial contiguity, were able to perform true docu-photography, capturing fragments of reality stripped of all cultural intentions.” “With its supposedly neutral gaze, the Street View photography had a spontaneous quality unspoiled by the sensitivities or agendas of a human photographer. “The world captured by Google appears to be more truthful and more transparent because of the weight accorded to external reality, the perception of a neutral, unbiased recording, and even the vastness of the project,” said Jon in his interview to Art Fag City. And in doing so, chances for Google street funny photos are aplenty. Roll the dice to discover someplace new, take a guided tour with Voyager, and create your own maps and stories. The original images were taken by an army of Google’s hybrid electric automobiles, each one equipped with nine cameras on a single pole trying to photograph every highway and byway in the world. With Google Earth for Chrome, fly anywhere in seconds and explore hundreds of 3D cities right in your browser. I don't know how the Google satellites work, so it might not even be possible to add a day/night setting with our current technology.Montreal based artist Jon Rafman isn’t the original photographer, but instead, he explores the Street View in Google Maps and takes screenshots of the most unusual and funny photos. For example, you could set it to midnight setting, and everything would be dark and windows would be glowing. One thing that would be cool is adding a function where you could change the time of day. Overall, it's amazing, and I fully recommend it to any geography or history nerd. For two, places like China, Russia, and North Korea obviously aren't 3d because those countries dont give us permission to analyze there country at every angle thousands of times (for good reason). For one, most of the non-3d areas are random countryside's or small towns, which makes sense, as it would take so much effort to turn a tiny little town in the middle of Canada to 3d, and it's not worth it. Unfortunately, the whole world isn't 3d, but that makes sense for multiple reasons. This is a great app and I'd recommend getting it. And yes, even though I didn’t pay anything I still feel shortchanged. I now know that if I had a desktop I’d be able to look at the moon and mars so I feel really gypped now. Overall really great concept but what I’m gathering from other reviews, the app particularly for iPad is super low quality compared to others. Zoom to your house or anywhere else, then dive in for a 360° perspective with Street View. Find somewhere you love Explore worldwide satellite imagery and 3D buildings and terrain for hundreds of cities. Viewing your story as a presentation and sharing it with a collaborator. It is absolutely impossible to tell one country/state from the next with the impossibly thin tan line separating everything that, oh yea, is the same color that is used for most of the landscape. Adding Street View and a 3D view to a Google Earth project. ![]() ![]() Also, it would be really enjoyable (and easier on my old lady eyes) to be able to make borders bold or different colors or even cut out a region to view it individually. You can’t adjust any type of visual settings so if you zoom too far in on, say, China, you get a million different location names in English and Chinese and you can’t even see the land under all the text. I am terrible at geography and thought this would help me with a class I’m taking but I was mistaken. It’s like they took what they were in the process of developing years ago and just threw it up without even looking at it for a quick review. It takes a lot of disappointment for me to write reviews but this app is just so flat. Not Even Basic App Comforts (2020 iPad Pro) ![]()
