Google Street View images are going to become one hell of a historical archive someday. I bet that at least 50-100 years from now, scientist are going to use them for sociological research on human behaviors. Such as counting how many people walked in certain areas at certain times per day or how tall average people were, or how many people used their cell phones in public, for example. The images will be such a valuable asset for people who want to study the history of fashion, architecture, and cars, among other things too.
This is so nostalgic going back to 2012 seeing stuff how it looked before it get reworked like markets or schools or playgrounds that haven't been built i love it
@@jefffrank_o7 more like $300 for the map, $200 for GPS, $150 for satellite views, and $500 for the street view. Not to mention charging you $200 for a compatibility fee, for not using it on the newest iPhone or Mac. But they'd cut you a deal of only $50 to use their maps on all of your Apple devices, instead of just one.
@@jefffrank_o7 Steve Jobs knows how to make money. My sister only buys Apple products, and her car only uses Apple maps. She has been lost trying to get somewhere multiple times, and I don't believe she gets a street view or traffic updates. Apple was good in the 80s and 90s when they had a simple interface for people who had never used a computer before in their life, but it's 2021 now, I would say at least 80 or 90 percent of the population have at least used a computer before, if they're over 10 years old. Apple's not really necessary anymore.
Very helpful in identifying views of areas sitting in Delhi and watching water supply sources in any part of the world for planning distribution system
And here I am at 2019 wondering why I saw people looking at the camera with blurred faces that got me curious how google street view works and happened to stumble upon this very informative video. Subbed And also nice outro there dude.
It's been more than 5 years since Google cars were in my city. Come on Google, there are new buildings, most of WIFI names have changed, it's time to update! Also, I haven't seen my new windows from the outside yet. Signed: Lazy Bastard
I absolutely love the idea of Google Maps and how they realised it! I just wish they'd take another tour with updated equipment so I could see my hometown the way it looks today, in all its glory.
If you go to Cross Street, Galway, Ireland and look at the seats outside the pub named Tis Neachtains, you will see me drinking a beer on a sunny day. Purple hoodie, beside bearded man. A friend in America realised it was there when he was showing Galway to friends of his :)
+Dave - BHM i actually looked this up :D are you the guy with long hair? (it looks like long hair), also i was only able to spot you from one perspective, the perspective from the middle of crossing was probably shot another day
+Michael Kawecki yeah, thats me! I looked at it again after I posted this, and I think you can only see it when lookin at 2014, or 2015. Google Street View apparently do a new run each year even in my town, which you can scroll between.
I liked seeing sa store in my village sinced I was a child was still opened in Google maps. After 22 yrs they've closed the store and moved to another city when the pandemic hits. I haven't asked what's their social med or even full name. Now I just took the screenshot of their opened store in Google map, they're my childhood memory.
Hey Linus, I was wondering if you could do a video on Microsoft's HoloLens. I know you usually wait to cover things until you can get your hands on the device, but I simply don't want to wait that long! Keep up the great work!
I suggest StreetView VR app for those using the Gear VR, I've been using it when I wanna see the street in VR. Samsung also announced that their upcoming spherical camera Gear 360 will work with Google Street View.
Another very common stitching problem is to put together images took months apart within a few feet. You can go from sunny and clear day to a cloudy one within 10 feet. I've seen buildings appear or disappear within a few frames.
i noticed that, also you could be in, say, october 2014 next minute JJuly 2013 or 2015, for instance. Also, cars or lorries in front of you on the country roads can disappear. (bit of computer wizardry, i suppose) other than that, it looks very realistic. Sometimes it crawls a bit, other times goes like a train! I know you dont see people moving or anything, but if you are going at a fast pace, you probably wouldnt notice anyway
Google's projects are incredible. Maps, Satellite, Street view, all free (with your data mining of course but still, at least they're using it to benefit you)
What got me is they even have a street view of my puny little street. We are not even the biggest street in this tiny town yet they some how got our street.
If you can see it from the public street, that's accessible to the public, then record it. If people do not want to be seen or recorded, then close your windows.
I would like to see one of these for AR peripherals, like the Virtuix Omni, controllers, guns, environments and whatnot. OR The differences between the AR types. Why bother with Oculus if I can use Google cardboard? You need to answer these questions, and you need to do it... as fast as possible.
Thanks to the Old Farts anxiety for burglars scanning for houses via Streetview brought up by the media and their blurred houses, Google decided to just leave Germany alone, because those manual blurring is
Man I somehow found my old address from home country The street view was updated 8 years ago from now. Wish it was more recent lol. But honestly glad to see it again since I haven’t been there for over 6 years lol
Google once went through a street near my home and added it to street view. Said road got a gate and then they removed the street entirely from street view 😶
- can explore any place in the world
- looks at own house
+K3V0M so true hahahahah
+Sharkboy1006 same. We just have a Shitty rendered birds eye of ours :(
+Ian Thompson Same, cars arent legally allowed to drive down the road where i live unless it's emergency :(
I live in a box :)
If I have a street view on my house, Did a google employee go past my house?
Amazing that all of this service is available for free.
yeah. thank god for that.
More underwater pls Google.
What have they done under water? I'm very interested in in finding out. Thanks in advance.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
+ZeroSecDox They did some at the Great Barrier Reef last year, not sure about beyond that.
+The Hoax Hotel Glad to see you in the tech world
+The Hoax Hotel that's sounds so cool to see, do you happen to have an Url. I'd like to see it.
I like looking street view of my town because the images are a few years old, it's a bit fun to see how much has changed for the worse.
my street just got updated, not even a year ago
I wish they would make them available like some sort of time machine.
There's a place in here that doesn't even exist anymore.
My street view of my town was updated only last year of November
My entire town has 2007 images
same, a few of the roads around me hasn't been updated since like 2009

You have to pay to see it live
It's the FBI
@@lizamosso8095 where do you pay for that at? I've yet to see that.
fun fact: the statue of liberty's face is blurred out in street view
not even kidding
Skyfoogle Really?!
Send a link
hahahahaha
Glad they respect her privacy.
cuk why? We already know what it looks like.
Honestly sounds like a kick ass job, being able to explore the world, and get paid at the same time.
1:03 Nice to see Lisbon on the show :)
mesmo 😍😂
True
I was going to ask if it was Stockholm! :P
***** Right.
Yes! Very nice! I was really surprised

1:38 Greetings from Wrocław, Poland :D
Hmmm 🤔
meanwhile, apple maps team watches this and cries
who?
Actually it would make a nice mini globe
Wow at 1:00 that was Lisbon Portugal 🇵🇹
Must be one of introvert's dream job. Getting paid for driving and sight seeing around the country.
I'm really liking the direction the channel is going with things outside of hardcore tech. I loved this video and the radar detector one.
You guys are covering some good topics lately, I especially liked Luke's mouse testing. Good job :-)
Yeah, it was very long but I enjoyed it
Street View is how I make sure I know where I'm going when I'm going somewhere new for the first time.
+Leif Peterson I wish i could do that but google maps hasnt uptdated places.
I come from a small town in South Africa (Welkom) every street is accurately displayed.
0:48 oh my uncles van. All that candy he promised me, instead I got 1:42
Good memories.
U got linus?
Wanna hear a joke?

The reason why they blur out the faces of people is for privacy , the company made the cameras and computer system to automatically blur out faces.
It also has views of remote locations. I once viewed a small dirt road at the bottom of Argentina...

hella late but I’d just like to say that my house is just a property of dirt
So... did they comeback
Have they come back yet?
Love these videos... hope you will do one on Arcade (game cabinets)
This is my first video of yours and man i gotta tell you.. you're doing a great job man.. solid videos! :D

Portugal isn't small.
+Bishr Arar Portugal is smaller than some states.
But then again compared to Brazil, Russia or Camada most of Europe fits inside them.
Why are you so happy ?
Praça do Comércio - Lisbon, Portugal in 1:00
This is something that i think most cable/phone/tv installers find extremely handy. especially for other field techs.

They didnt take pictures everywhere
Belgrade is featured at 2:07.
0:58 PORTUGAL OMG !!!
- Praça do comercio, Lisboa
Lol the license plate on my truck isnt blocked out, but the 4 cars around me are. Damn you google!!
Joe295398 try reporting it to google. They often respond to maps feedback
eh, im not too worried about it. i was just making a joke lol
lol
Joe295398 really what kind of truck did you have
I was like wow when I discovered my whole city support street view. Good job Google. Really impressed!
+Techquickie could you guys do a video on electrostatic headphones?
linus can you please do a video on laser discs
from New Delhi to the deli across the street
we need a street view of the moon. google needs to send a rover lol.
Ah yes xd
Historic street view.
That would be cool.
0:07
when linus said "2007" a lower third momentarily showed up
+CML PoP It was at like 50% opacity for one frame then it was gone. I spent a few minutes trying to read it.
techquickie please do a video on "360 videos" i really wanna know the logic behind 360 videos. thank you :)
I actually always wondered how they got all those pictures. I guess now I know!

It does not benefit me, I don't use it. But still they data mine me. I don't like it.
dont forget about streetview underwater. there are a few of them out there.

Liked just because you used a Plaza in Lisbon for the 360º view part of this video
they need to use higher resolution cameras. street view is so blurry and looks like i went back in time to 2005
3:25 “Privacy”
Kim Jong-Un: NANI? CLOSE THE BORDERS AND PREVENT ANY CARS FROM COMING INTO THE COUNTRY!
Linus, as much as I like you, neighbourhood has nothing to do with Freshbooks :s
2:08 first I was like: Hmmm that looks fammiliar and then I realised it was a city I live in hahah
Which road do you drive in google street view?
sadly they blurred out the public transportation's route signage which is not very useful
Do you see yall doing 60fps anytime soon?
3:00
simply let google know your location even more accurately and let it go through your data so you an submit them some footage
Awesome video
Request: As Fast As Possible As Fast As Possible
Already d
Done
I love you, Linus.
I think one can request to blur out his or her house, just to cover the suggestion how rich or poor could the owner be.
If only these camera where on the nexus phone.
My neighborhood? NO...Linus! You been working with Google on this one?
My mom is on streetview, from 7 years ago when we lived in Sweden.

2:07 its Google car in Belgrade :))
did u guys see the pictures i added for u guys on the warehouse place :P ?
Video on working of google 3d maps... how do they do 3d mapping
Man I somehow found my old address from home country
The street view was updated 8 years ago from now. Wish it was more recent lol. But honestly glad to see it again since I haven’t been there for over 6 years lol
