Hey fellow Voyagers,
What Google has is going to equip you with the 360-degree view of the 100 Indian monuments that will be available to anyone with access to the Internet. Google has wisely partnered with Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
The 360-degree panoramic imagery would be available on Google Maps and on Google's World Wonders website after it's published, allowing people across the world to explore historical sites in India.
Qutub Minar and Taj Mahal are among the first few handpicked sites. So soon you can give your friends a virtual tour like rambling around Kutubminar by sitting in your home at Kanyakumari or Amsterdam.
The ONE who has taken the responsibility to do this all on own is none other than Volunteers at the trust who will be fitted with the 4ft, 40lbs backpack, which has 15-angle lenses taking a picture every 2.5 seconds which can be merged into a 360degree view. The images will then be stitched together and added to Street View, which is available on Google Maps
Let me tell you I almost forgot that Google was banned in 2011 from Banglore for street view
However, it's worth mentioning that Google Street View covers everything from UNESCO world heritage sites to places like Antartica, leading universities and even commercial establishments like Burj Khalifa.
