Google Street View Will Be Extended Into Ocean

These beautiful 360 degrees panorama pictures will be put together and be uploaded to Google Earth, becoming like Google Street View in underwater ocean.

"When it comes to climate change we know hundred times more about how life on lands gonna respond than life in the sea"

Google Plus Hangout makes it possible to live-streaming the survey to worldwide viewers.

Actually Google Map has already been extended to Ocean (and Ocean floor) since least 2009.

But we may be able to take a virtual tour in deep ocean in 2012.

Google partner launches 'Seaview' site for a Street View-like look at the Great Barrier Reef - The Verge

This project is a part of a scientific survey carried out by the University of Queensland with the help of Catlin Seaview Survey (sponsored by a Bermuda-based specialty insurance and reinsurance company, Catlin Group ), and Google partners with them.
Seaview is still a demo version which means the survey is in a preliminary stage now and the full-scale survey will start in September 2012.

Catlin group has sponsored Ocean survey exploring how rising sea temperatures and increased ocean acidity will affect the region over the long term, the phenomenon what they call the Ocean change.

This time the survey will carry out studies of the Australia's famous reef up to a depth of 100 metres, with letting the public being to able to watch the process and results via Youtube and other Google sites in order to rise public awareness of this issue.

A specifically developed camera attached to underwater vehicle will take thousands of 360-degree panoramic images from locations along the length of the 2,300-kilometre reef.

The survey will also use robotic cameras to survey depths between 30 metres and 100 metres, a region scientists know little about bu makes up makes up 93% of the reef - people have been suggesting those deeper areas may be protected from climate change and assist in the recovery of reef systems. But at the moment we don’t know.

Finally, a survey team led by cinematographer and shark researcher Richard Fitzpatrick will study the migratory behaviour of tiger sharks, green turtles and manta rays in response to increasing seawater temperatures. 50 animals will be tracked with satellite tags that continuously monitor their geographic position, temperature and depth.

Writing a love letter to a geek girl - Google Map Envelope

Here are two designers Rahul and Yofred.

What is it like if Google map becomes an envelope, they imagined.

There would be a Send envelope button in Gmail. It'd be great to allow people mail physical letters trough the postal service for a small fee with this button. But their creative mind didn't end here.
When press the button, users were also able to print out templates which show the route from an address of a sender to an address of a recipient on Google map.

The printed templates can be folded to make envelopes. You put your letter in the envelope and post the mail.

If you are in long-distance relationship, the envelope tells a story itself. If you recently moved and want to tell people the new address, this is a convenient way.

If a girl you want so badly is a geek, this is how you can make a nice love-letter.
