Idea: Google Walks

[NoStateofMind]

With the seemingly fast growth of virtual reality headsets making their way into the mainstream I thought maybe this would be a good idea.

What if Google were to put cameras on people the way they do cars and just have them walk around? Cities, parks, stores from all around the world where people could plug in their VR and see what their destination would look like before they get there. They could walk down the streets of Paris or visit the Great Wall of China, walk the beach in Cancun or check which isle that pickles are on at Walmart etc. The possibilities are endless.

I would love this and I think a good name is Google Walks. Your thoughts?

I think they have street map views of some trails with people wearing a backpack.

Umm They already do this.

Yeah, a good number of these "walks" are already recorded with many new ones on the way. Museum tours, city tours, etc.

I see. Are they video? Cause thats what I had in mind. Moving by clicking and seeing still images is pretty sad IMO.

next thing you know Google will stick cameras into people to map the human body.
