The quality and details provided are simply OUTSTANDING. Google Street View allows you to get an “in-situ” idea of the surrounding for a specific address, in this particular case, Toronto, Canada.

Additionally, if you pay closer attention, you will find that almost all people faces and license plates are automatically blurred for privacy protection purposes. I was able to experiment with Google Street View at the beginning but having it in a familiar “neighborhood” gives you an idea on how good, crisp and accurate this piece of technology is. There is so much potential – like embedding augmented reality technology in order to show ads from real stores. The possibilities are endless.

Another cool feature from Google Street View is the ability to post user’s photos from that address, providing up-to-date information on the constantly changing surroundings.

Can you imagine having a 360 virtual tour of your next vacation spot? Checking restaurants and attractions offers in real time? At a Street Level?

Anyone would like to play tennis at High Park? ;)
