Fifteen years after its launch, a Google Maps<\/a> feature that lets people explore faraway places as though standing right there is providing a glimpse of the metaverse being heralded as the future of the internet.

There was not yet talk of online life moving to virtual worlds when a \"far-fetched\" musing by
Google<\/a> co-founder Larry Page<\/a> prompted Street View<\/a>, which lets users of the company's free navigation service see imagery of map locations from the perspective of being there.

Now the
meta<\/a>verse is a tech-world buzz, with companies including Facebook parent Meta investing in creating online realms where people represented by videogame-like characters work, play, shop and more.

\"Larry Page took a video camera and stuck it out the window of his car,\" Google senior technical program manager Steven Silverman said, while showing AFP the garage where the company builds cameras for cars, bikes, backpacks, and even snowmobiles dispatched to capture 360-degree images worldwide.

\"He was talking to some of his colleagues at the time, saying, 'I bet we can do something with this.' That was the start of Street View.\"

Street View lets people click on locations in Google Maps to see what it might look like were they at that spot, and even look around.

Now, the internet behemoth is introducing an \"immersive view\" that fuses Street View images with artificial intelligence to create \"a rich, digital model of the world,\"
Miriam Daniel<\/a>, Google Maps Experiences vice president, said in a post.

\"You'll be able to experience what a neighborhood, landmark, restaurant or popular venue is like -- and even feel like you're right there before you ever set foot inside,\" Daniel said.

\"With a quick search, you can virtually soar over Westminster to see the neighborhood and stunning architecture of places, like Big Ben, up close.\"

Google will start rolling out immersive view later this year, starting in Los Angeles, London, New York, San Francisco and Tokyo.

From Maps To Metaverse

<\/strong> Street View imagery has been gathered in more than 100 countries and territories, ranging from places such as Mount Fuji and Grand Canyon National Park to the Great Barrier Reef.

\"If you want to see what it's like to go down a ski slope, you can see where that snowmobile has gone,\" Silverman said, nodding toward a maroon snowmobile in the garage in the Silicon Valley city of Mountain View, California.

\"That trike was really funny because it went around Stonehenge; and we put it on a barge and went down the Amazon River,\" he said of another vehicle.

He pointed to a backpack camera system taken for a zip-line ride in the Amazon, to provide a bird's-eye perspective.

Years spent capturing the real world in 360-degree imagery bodes well for Google when it comes to a future in which internet life shifts to immersive digital worlds, said Creative Strategies tech analyst Carolina Milanesi.

\"It absolutely plays into the metaverse,\" Milanesi said.

\"The idea of a digital twin of the world is certainly one aspect of it that Google will solve.\"

Silverman reasoned that, in a sense, Street View has been giving users a virtual experience for more than a decade, and the imagery naturally lends itself to depicting the real world in virtual settings.

\"Ideally, that metaverse, that world that we move into, we're going to be there,\" Silverman said.

Scores of tech firms have been rushing to invest in building the metaverse, a loose term covering the growing ecosystem of interactive online worlds, games and 3D meeting places that are already attracting millions of users.

Facebook renamed its parent company to Meta last year to emphasize its virtual reality vision, and opened Horizon World virtual reality platform to the North American public.

Earlier this year, Japanese giant
Sony<\/a> and Lego's Danish parent firm announced a $2 billion investment in US gaming powerhouse Epic Games for its work toward joining the metaverse vision for the internet's future.

In the form of video games such as Epic's hit Fortnite, the precursors of the metaverse already exist in minimalist ways, with people coming together not only to play, but also to interact and participate in events.

What started as a \"far-fetched idea\" by Page is \"critical to our mapping efforts -- letting you see the most up-to-date information about the world, while laying the foundation for a more immersive, intuitive map,\" Google Maps product director Ethan Russell said in a blog post.

十五年推出后,谷歌地图功能,让人们站在这里探索遥远的地方好像是提供一瞥metaverse被誉为互联网的未来。

尚未有人说网络生活搬到虚拟世界“牵强附会”沉思谷歌联合创始人拉里•佩奇提示街景,用户可以通过该公司的免费导航服务从的角度看地图位置的图像。

现在,节是一个高科技公司,包括Facebook父元投资创建在线领域,人们开始用类似电子游戏人物工作,玩,购物等等。

“拉里•佩奇摄像机,它窗外的他的车,“谷歌高级技术项目经理史蒂芬·西尔弗曼说,在向法新社车库公司建立摄像机的汽车,自行车,背包,甚至摩托雪橇派去捕捉全球360度图像。

“他是与他的一些同事,说,“我敢打赌,我们可以做点什么。“这是街景的开始。”

街景让人们点击位置在谷歌地图上看到它的样子他们在那个位置,甚至四处看看。

现在,互联网巨头推出一个“身临其境的观点”,与人工智能融合街景图片创建“世界的丰富、数字模型,”米利暗丹尼尔副总裁,谷歌地图的经验,一篇文章中说。

“你可以体验一个社区,地标,餐馆或受欢迎的地点就像,甚至觉得你这里之前你曾经踏足进去,”丹尼尔说。

“快速搜索,你可以几乎飙升在威斯敏斯特的社区和惊人的建筑的地方,像大本钟,近距离。”

谷歌今年晚些时候将开始推出身临其境的观点,从洛杉矶、伦敦、纽约、旧金山、东京。

从地图到Metaverse

街景地图已经聚集在超过100个国家和地区,从地方如富士山和大堡礁的大峡谷国家公园。

“如果你想知道就像去了滑雪场,你可以看到在雪地了,”西尔弗曼说,点头向栗色雪上汽车在车库里在硅谷的山景市加州。

“这三轮车是非常有趣的,因为它绕巨石阵;我们把它放在一个驳船去亚马逊河,另一辆车的“他说。

他指着一个背包摄像系统拍摄滑行骑在亚马逊,提供鸟瞰的角度。

多年捕捉现实世界在360度图像预示着谷歌在未来的互联网生活转向身临其境的数字世界,创意策略技术分析师Carolina Milanesi说。

“这绝对扮演成metaverse Milanesi说。

“世界数码双胞胎的想法肯定是它的一个方面,谷歌会解决。”

西尔弗曼认为,在某种意义上,街景给用户一个虚拟体验已经超过十年,和自然图像有助于描绘现实世界中的虚拟设置。

“理想情况下,metaverse,我们进入这个世界,我们要在那里,”西尔弗曼说。

许多科技公司纷纷投资建设metaverse,松散覆盖交互式在线世界日益增长的生态系统,3 d游戏和会议的地方已经吸引了数百万的用户。

去年Facebook更名为其母公司元强调其虚拟现实视觉,地平线,打开世界北美公共虚拟现实平台。

今年早些时候,日本巨头索尼和丹麦乐高的母公司宣布投资20亿美元在美国游戏强国史诗游戏为其努力加入metaverse对互联网的未来愿景。

视频游戏的形式如史诗的Fortnite, metaverse已经存在的前体简约的方式,不仅与人一起玩,而且互动和参与活动。

什么开始作为一个“牵强附会”页面“关键我们映射的努力——让你看到最新的关于世界的信息,虽然更身临其境的打下了基础,直观的地图,“谷歌地图产品主管Ethan罗素在一篇博客文章中说。
