The slow-moving tricycle and small car roaming Emory's streets and walkways recently were collecting more than curious stares — they were gathering visual data to illustrate Emory's Druid Hills campus on Google Maps Street View.
Using a series of directional cameras, the customized equipment is used to capture a sequence of images that will be stitched together to create a panoramic view of Emory's urban landscape.
The technology, which is featured online in Google Maps and Google Earth, was launched in 2007 to provide panoramic views of streets around the world through 360-degree street-level imagery. Lately, those views have been expanded to include an increasing number of college and university campuses.
