Google invite you to do their Street View capture for them

Today we’re announcing a simple way to share your perspective, with a new “Street View ready” certification standard integrated with 20 new 360-degree cameras coming to market in 2017. Whether you’re sharing your experience at a local market or on your recent vacation, publishing high-quality, interactive imagery no longer requires significant time and effort—all you have to do is get one of the cameras, download the Street View app and start creating.

You’ve been able to upload/contribute photos to Google Maps for a long time now so this is essentially a natural progression from that.

The full list of accredited cameras will be made public at this week’s Street View Summit in Tokyo.
