So just last month a Google Street view technician came to the ASU campus with a very curious looking backpack. It was very similar to the camera's mounted on the Google Street view cars, but this one stuck about 3' above him out of a backpack with a control panel he could hold in front of him. It was very sci-fi.
He spent a few days just walking around the campus and photographing every walkway, mall, and building. It will be fun to eventually have that up on the web to see, and I'm sure a few hundred students will find themselves instant celebrities on the street view camera's. I'm looking forward to viewing any of the hilarious things the students might have done as they saw this contraption walking around campus. Here is a pic of what the backpack looks like: Google Street View Backpack
