Google puts tiny Street View cars into Hamburg’s Minatur Wunderland

Heh—this crazy project provides an extreme close-up on the incredible craftsmanship & patience of the creators of Germany’s famous miniature world. The team writes,

Street View cameras have floated on gondolas in Venice, ridden on camels in the Liwa Desert and soared on snowmobiles on Canadian slopes. But to capture the nooks and crannies in Miniatur Wunderland, we worked with our partner at Ubilabs to build an entirely new—and much smaller—device. Tiny cameras were mounted on tiny vehicles that were able to drive the roads and over the train tracks, weaving through the Wunderland’s little worlds to capture their hidden treasures.

Check out the results.
