  • Creating Google Street Views with the Samsung Gear 360 Camera By
    Creating Google Street Views with the Samsung Gear 360 Camera1 by Andy Lyons ​ Last modified: November 2016 Google Street View Camera Loan Kit In October 2016, Google loaned a 360-camera kit to IGIS (a statewide technical support program in ANR), for the purposes of exploring how Google’s Street View technology can be useful for research and management at the Hopland Research and Extension Center (and ANR field stations more generally). Street View app and the Samsung Gear 360 2 The Street View app (for both Android and iOS) is what you use to create and upload Street Views. The Samsung Gear 360 is one of about four 360 cameras that the Google Street View app is setup to work with (meaning the app can control the camera pretty seamlessly). Most people use the Street View app only to view off-road street views. You can also view off-road street views in plain old Google Maps, but the Street View app makes it a little easier to find user generated content. If you have a VR device such as the Google Cardboard, you can view Street Views in 3 cardboard mode .​ In terms of content creation, the Street View app has three main functions: i) control the camera, ii) process images (which includes stitching them together, blurring faces and license plates, adding locations as needed, and linking nearby photos), and iii) upload the images to Google Street View (after which they’ll be available in Google Maps immediately). The Samsung Gear can also record 360 video. For that you need the Samsung Gear 360 Manager (or another app).

  • Using Google MAPS Street View on Your PHONE and Creating Hyperlinks
    Using Google Maps, Google Street View, and Google Earth on your PHONE and creating hyperlinks Google Maps Type in your search term. You might need to try different phrases to get what you want. Pull the bottom screen up to see the Overview and click on Photos Switch to “Street View & 360” and search through the images listed, opening them by clicking on them. Once in the 360 degree view you can move your view around by swiping on the screen (you can also do this to the smaller preview images in the list). Once you have found the view that “explains the ways in which it augments understanding of the monument/place/site/object itself, beyond your readings or what has been discussed in class” save the view as the choice for your Spatial Exploration Project entry. To do this click on the “share” icon (a square with an arrow projecting from it) that I’ve outlined in red at the top of the page. At this point you can text or email yourself the link or copy it to paste into a document. To create a hyperlink in your document, highlight the text you want to be connected to your view, paste the copied url you made from the previous share screen, hit ”go” or “enter,” and that text will now have the link embedded in it. Google Street View While less well known than Google Maps, Street View allows you to walk the streets of the location you choose. Once again, you type in your search term.

  • "The Famous Doctor Stearns"
    1935.] The Famous Dr. Stearns 317 "THE FAMOUS DOCTOR STEARNS" A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF DR. SAMUEL STEARNS WITH A BIBLIOGRAPHY BY JOHN C. L. CLARK' ENJAMIN STEARNS and Dinah Wheeler were B married at Lancaster, in the Massachusetts Bay Province, 11 September, 1738, by the Rev. John Prentice. Benjamin was of Concord, as, too, was Dinah's father, Josiah Wheeler, who migrated to Lancaster about the end of the preceding century. Her mother was Martha Prescott, daughter of John Prescott, Jr., and granddaughter of the founder of Lancaster. The homestead whither Benjamin Stearns came to dwell with his wife's parents lay at the easterly base of Wataquadock Hill, in Bolton, which had been incorporated as a township, from Lancaster territory, in 1738. A path from the door led to the easterly bound "Bay Road"^ running a little to the north of the house. Besides carrying on the farm of a hundred and fifty acres, which his wife inherited from her father three months after their marriage, the husband made, and doubtless mended, shoes, for in deeds he is described as "cordwainer." In one document Mrs. Stearns is called "spinster,"—no meaningless epithet applied to this old-time housewife, among whose possessions when she died were "2 great Wooling Wheels."^ Plenty of wholesome work for the boys and girls born into this New England household! ^Mr. J.C.L. Clark, of Lancaster, Mass., who made a life study of Dr. Samuel Stearns, died at Lancaster, Sept. 6, 1036. «Middlesex Deeds, XXIII, 403. 'Worcester Probate Becords, Series A, Case 55621. 318 American Antiquarian Society [Oct., To the prudence and energy of old Josiah Wheeler his grandchildren owed the comfort, if not affluence, in which they grew to maturity.
