Google Maps with Street view

Google has added so-called Street view to Google maps for several big cities in the US, among which New York and San Francisco. Users can pick a spot on the map, and Google figures out what the view will be in a direction the user then can change (al). Google this way maps the world even preciser. Now through pictures; in the future recent pictures or (video) images of people taken a minute ago will be added. And so for every spot in the world. But this is only the basis for the mixed experiences to be projected directly in our glasses. Cars, people, containers, billboards etc will be erased if we want. Or we get the image of the street 50 years ago. And we get people projected we would like to see. Or brand agents if we like. Interesting stores will be highlighted in our view, the best restaurant get special attention, and if we should meet somebody who is walking here anyway, we won't miss that opportunity. The world will never be like before. Unless we go 'unplugged', the newest trend in 2020: feel the world on your bare feet. Scary... wink
