The Grand Canyon was the maiden voyage for Google’s Trekker — a backpack-like camera that takes 75-megapixel photos and weighs 40-pounds. Jutting out of the pack is an orb that houses a cluster 15 lenses, which shoot a 360-degree photo every 2.5 seconds. The device is controlled by a Google-built app on an Android smartphone, of course, and its linked to the pack via USB. Among Google’s aspirations for Trekker include all of the U.S. national parks, landmarks all over the world, ancient ruins and archeological sites, and even remote cities and villages that are difficult if not impossible to reach by car.
