Go to Dubai without even leaving your living room? It is possible thanks to the tools of Google And not only Google Maps, with which know how to get there or where to move once you are in the city, but also Street View , that tool that allows you to see 360-degree photographs to get to know your surroundings and be able to move down a street by doing click with the mouse.A tool that has also reached the tallest building in the world located in this city and known as Burj Khalifa
This is a unique experience in the history of Google Street View, and it is that, despite having already reached the interior from shopping centers and airports, I had never done it in such a tall building. Thus, with the help of a pair of devices created to photograph environments on foot, he has entered this 828-meter building high and with more than 160 floors to visit, during three days, several of its rooms. With this, it has managed to make public one of the most surprising corners created by the hand of man, as well as the best views in all of Dubai.
Specifically, the Google team spent three days scanning different floors of the building with two different devices: one of them is theStreet View Trekker, a kind of backpack created especially to reach places where the car cannot .Thus, hanging from the back, it has allowed us to capture one of the most impressive panoramic views of Dubai from the maintenance car outside the building Burj Khalifa hanging on the 73rd floor A place from where it is possible to see the sea, part of the building façade and the striking and eye-catching surrounding architecture. The other device is the Street View Troley, a kind of cart that allows to be dragged on interiors to capture a tour comfortably enjoying all perspectives, as if it were a walk through a museum. With it they carried out the rest of the scans of the different plants.
Just access the Google Maps collections to enjoy the results achieved in Burj Khalifa , either from photographs or using Street Viewas usual, such as when querying for a street.Thus it is possible “walk” through the ground floor of the building or even go down to floor -1 to see the beautiful sculpture that is kept there. However, the best views are found between floors 43, 124 and 152, where the highest pool in the world is distributed , the floor observatory from where you can see the rest of Dubai or the balcony of one of the highest floors of the building, where the winds reach almost 60 km per hour.
In short, a most striking and surprising experience that Google makes available to everyone, demonstrating the work of engineering that is this building, which by itself already has several records such as the highest in the world, that of the fastest elevators (35 km per hour) or the highest pool
