Let’s talk about something fascinating, Silvina: traveling to places that one can’t realistically visit, and doing it through the Internet.
Now, the keyboard has become a very important place for science and research.
Yes, and this is about Google Street View, which is now also incorporating the important feature of enabling us to see
the Galapagos Islands, which is a paradise, and avoiding jet lag, too…and this works through a camera,
that camera that we see on the screen, called the Street Trekker. And that camera takes images in 360-degree angles
that allow us to create panoramic, interactive images, and when people access Google Maps,
they can take a virtual tour just as they would if they were physically walking through that place.
This is very important because it allows us to transport ourselves to paradise-like and incredibly beautiful places
without having to leave our homes, and it will be available to everyone through Google very soon,
not only the Galapagos Islands, which is already available, but also a great part of the world.
