Google Street View has a new program that will let basically anyone with a car and the right camera contribute to its image database. 

The new program is called "Street View Ready" and will let photographers control special 360-degree cameras using a companion app, then upload the photos they capture directly to Google Street View through the app. 

The first camera to participate in the program is the Insta360 Pro, a 360-degree ultra high-definition camera that can take photographs while mounted on a moving vehicle. The camera has recently updated its camera software to include a five-frames-per-second shooting mode specifically needed for shooting in Street View mode.  Read more...

Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
