Google has brought its all-seeing eyes – mounted for the first time on a backpack – down into the Grand Canyon, showcasing the attraction’s most popular hiking trails on the South Rim and other walkways.
Google product manager Ryan Falor walks with the Trekker demonstrate at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. The search engine giant is using the nearly 40-pound, backpack-sized camera unit to showcase the Grand Canyon’s most popular hiking trails on the South Rim and other off-road sites. It’s about 4 feet in height when set on the ground, and when worn, the camera system extends 2 feet above the operator’s shoulders.
