Camel Cam: Google's Desert Street View Launched

Forget Street View - Google has now launched 'Desert View'.

A 10-year-old camel called Raffia was equipped with Google's Street View cameras to create panoramic shots of the desert around the Liwa Oasis in Abu Dhabi.

It is the first time the company has used an animal to capture images, but Google said it was the "most authentic" way of taking the photographs.

Middle East spokesman Joyce Baz said: "With every environment and every location, we try to customise the capture and how we do it for that part of the environment.

"In the case of Liwa we fashioned it in a way so that it goes on a camel so that it can capture imagery in the best, most authentic and least damaging way."

The camel was led by a local guide

A local guide walked the camel in the early hours of the morning - the quietest time of day and also the clearest weather-wise.

The photos - like all other Street View images - were then digitally stitched together to create a virtual world which users can travel through with the click of a mouse.

Street Views are available everywhere from Egypt and Turkey, to the Grand Canyon in the US.

The latest images are now available online.
