CHICAGO, Feb. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In partnership with GoPro and Google Maps, Panoskin, a Chicago based technology company specializing in virtual tour creation, launched a new product today called TrailBlazer that will allow anyone with the GoPro Fusion 360 camera to publish directly to Google Street View.
TrailBlazer is a desktop application which converts GoPro Fusion 360 camera footage into Google Street View. Users will be able to drop their videos into TrailBlazer, which in minutes, maps the footage on Google with the help of GPS information provided by the GoPro Fusion.
While Panoskin already allows you to publish indoor imagery on Google, TrailBlazer will allow you to publish GoPro Fusion footage directly to roadways, trails, ski slopes, mountain peaks, waterways, neighborhood streets and more.
"Fusion is a leading 360 camera due to its super-stabilized footage, go-anywhere ruggedness and ease of capture. It's a must have for anyone shooting 360," said Tom Chomiak, Panoskin CTO and creator of TrailBlazer. "Today, we are excited to add to this success by allowing GoPro Fusion users to update Google Street View. Using TrailBlazer, anyone with a GoPro Fusion can pave a path on Google Maps and share their experience with the world."
TrailBlazer also creates opportunities for countries where Google Street View does not yet exist. Anyone with a GoPro Fusion camera across the globe will be able to strap a GoPro Fusion to their car, backpack or helmet and update Google Street View in realtime. This means people across the world will be able to see places like Greenland or Africa that have very little to no Street View mapped.
In addition, business owners who have limited or out-of-date exterior views of their business will be able to update how their storefront appears on Google.
Anyone can publish and update previous Street View images, and Google will show internet users a timeline of multiple publishes over a single trail.
TrailBlazer Beta is now open for early access to GoPro Fusion users, with a full launch expected by this summer.
