Biker Photographer
Got a bike helmet? Will travel? Google hired two lucky young men to ride around France on dopey-looking tricycles snapping up photos of historical sites that are inaccessible by car.
This three-wheeler is equipped with a long pole holding nine cameras, a GPS system, a computer and a generator. The riders, wearing Google tee-shirts and white helmets pull all that gear around the French capital to do their job - adding three-dimensional images to Google's Street View Maps.
Similarly, Google has also mapped the paths on and around college campuses and is doing so with a tricycle equipped with the same sophisticated camera technology.
Is this a computer job? An arts job? A sports job? All of the above? What do you think? For sure, it's a cool job.
