The video below is a behind-the-scenes look at how the new Trekker technology is able to capture Google Street View imagery of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. This imagery is the Google Maps’ first-ever collection in the Arab World and the first skyscraper to be mapped on Google Street View.
The imagery was collected over three days using the Street View Trekker and Trolley, capturing high-resolution 360-degree panoramic imagery of several indoor and outdoor locations of the building.
In addition to the breathtaking views from the world’s tallest observation deck on the 124th floor, you can also see what it feels like to hang off one of the building’s maintenance units on the 80th floor, normally used for cleaning windows!
Visit the highest occupied floor in the world on the 163rd floor, experience being in the fastest-moving elevators in the world (at 22 mph) and check out the highest swimming pool in the world on the 76th floor.
To experience more on your computer screen the breathtaking panoramic view, see the Burj Khalifa Street View collection here and here.
