Today, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our newly refreshed Street View publish website, featuring the first generation of Street View ready cameras and publishing tools.
What does it mean to be Street View ready? These products are optimized for creating and publishing 360 imagery on Google Maps, either with the Street View app, apps developed by the camera manufacturer, or third-party desktop utilities that use the Street View Publish API.
It’s now easier than ever to create Street View. Many of the Street View ready cameras can record 360 videos and have been designed to capture 360 images on the move. You can quickly capture large areas and show others the places in your communities that are changing the most. When you publish them on Street View, 360 photo frames are extracted from the video and connected to create an immersive Street View experience on Google Maps.
insta360 pro, actually is the only one that is allowed to create street view (car ready) blue paths, is the one we used to map the Half Dome trail. Is fast and reliable, and allows still photos and not only video, you could have with a discount for SVT, stitching is done with dedicated software around 2500 $
istar pulsar, is a new model, previously announced last year, and finally available on the market; has got superior resolution, and I think will work with AI too; i didn’t tried during the SVT summit, but is a solid (and heavy) piece of metal; a dedicated backpack will be available soon. It’s currently in certification process for SV car ready program; stitching is really an heavy job, and is done in cloud, through a dedicated sw platform with monthly fees (vr.world)
theta V, nothing to add, is a well known tool, and is the only one that support Video mode for SV App
insta 360 one, is a nice toy, and comes with a fun software that allows some special effects (like bullet time); it’s really lightweight and easy to use, you can snap into your iphone and start recording 360
360fly, are single lens cameras, i don’t really think are great for our needs, i see them more useful as surveillance tools
matterport, it’s an entire ecosystem, based on a camera that rotates (instead having multiple lenses) and stitching is done in cloud, in a similar way like istar, but includes also hosting for 3d floorplans
yi360vr is a cheap all in one camera, comparable to theta v and garmin 360, capable of 5.7 k video. Not directly compatible with SV app
istaging is a system that allow easy creation of pano using your smartphone+a rotator+fisheye lens, includes a software to create virtual tours
Hello, I received the email for SVT the new software for publications and new cameras that I found very interesting,
this also new mode, if I understand correctly, to take the streets again I’m interested in knowing how to place it in a business action, proposing the sale of road sections is possible?
This is actually pretty awesome - thanks for the heads up, @Yohanad ! I haven’t usually been interested in 360 but may have to reconsider with this helpful re-launch
