What is a Book: Google Street View

Google Street View

Street View as a Book
Google Street View is a book; a narrative that leads you through a virtual experience of life. The real environment in this case can be compared to the 'spoken' when referring to language. This is the time based, present and fast-moving reality. Street View is a written book of the real; it requires equipment, is static and organised and exists only in preserved realms.

Street View is Addictive
Users are encouraged to explore cities around the world, and people can end up wasting a lot of time exploring their cities in street view. What if this time-wasting, yet interesting, experience could be captured for educational purposes?
