I randomly zoomed out on Google Maps and dropped the pin with my eyes closed. I ended up at 19 Pochtamtskaya Ulitsa in Kapinsk, Sverdlovsk Oblast. Which is in Russia. 19 Pochtamskaya resembles a Soviet Gulag of some sort. I can’t read Cyrillic, which is what all of the signs are in. There is a barbed-wire fence and a couple of smokestacks in the building, but they come out of the underground, not the building itself. Perhaps a secret government manufacturing center? Probably not, because the exterior of the building looks absolutely terrible. In actuality, likely a brake factory or ...

This is the original assignment link. I chose to make this assignment connect with the 80s theme. I chose this image from google maps the street view to create a story with Madonna going to record her next song. The car reminds me of an 80s car perspective, and the image makes you think about where the car is going. Madonna is driving to record her next song, while she is playing her recent songs on the radio. She has a show coming up and she is heading to the recording studio.

In the year 3033 things were very rough for simple astrobark farmers. Below is a picture of an abandoned astrobark storage shed. On it you can see the gang tag of the local gang found in Kai’s town, the “Blue”. The Blue are an extremely violent gang that has slowly grown due to a lack of effective ruling and an ineffective criminal justice system in the area. You can see in the background that there are more old buildings in the back that probably date back more than one thousand years. This picture illustrates the similarities to old Earth environmentally. ...

For this visual assignment, I did another “try random one” and came across the “Street View Story” assignment. Being an English major, I was more than excited to find an assignment that incorporates visual as well as textual elements. The photo is of Ponte Cavour, Rome, Lazio, Italy. Here is the little story I came up with for this picture: The first time I lost her was because of the lights. I was seven and she was four, and we lived in Rome. First, we went to the river, even though we weren’t allowed. We loved the water. Lily liked to ...
Visual Assignment – Street View Story

For my new assignment, I decided to try out the Street View Story inwhich I found a location using Google Maps Street View and then make up a story in regards to it. I decided to check out the Roman Colosseum and noticed a man in the entrance. He looked like he was depressed, hunched over almost dragging his back leg. This struck me as interesting and I came up with his back story. Many moons ago, in Rome, a forgotten battle waged between two opposing sides. The Romans ruled over a large, valuable land with an overabundance of banana trees and sugar cubes. ...

Dig through Google Maps Street View to find an interesting setting for your story. Let your imagination go wild and tell the story of what occurred in that space. Bonus points for using Google Earth to create a virtual tour with multiple settings for your story and narrating it yourself.
Roppongi Street View Story: ds106

The name of this ds106 assignment is called “Street View Story.” The purpose of this assignment is to use Google Maps or Google Earth to find a street view picture of a place you have been to, then to explain the significance of the picture. So for assignment I grabbed a picture of a club I have visited a couple times out here in Tokyo. While it’s definitely not the best club in Tokyo, they do play very good music here. I choose this picture because just last weekend while I was there celebrating my friends birthday the police came and ...
When In Rome: A Street View Story
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I had been playing around with the idea of using a combination of Google Street View and sound effects from the Freesound.org project for awhile now. Today’s news that Google now has Street View inside of famous landmarks is all the prodding I needed to start playing. My recommendation is to wear headphones and watch this full screen if possible.
