Dear Archives at Brown University, and Andrea, and All, 

Greetings from the Hay library, and MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School. I just spoke with Andrea at the front desk about some 'out of the box' questions in creating a realistic virtual earth for everything, and with library archival materials, for example: How best to create an iterating Realistic Virtual Earth for History of Hippies, and hippy communes, at Brown Univ in the 1960s and 1970s in Google Street View with time slider, GMaps, GEarth, TensorFlowAI, and with avatar bots +?

In Tweet form, here are my questions:

And, for example, if I wanted to find out whether 58 Thayer Street near the Brown Univ campus was a hippie commune in the 1960s and 1970s, how could I do this in Google Street View with time slider, and also with Google Search ... and then how could I even enter this house virtually in 1964, and 1972, and talk with people who lived there, if there are photos of hypothetical hippies that could be turned into interactive iterating avatar bots with natural language processing? For example, with Pigpen and Janis Joplin picture above, albeit in SF I think, how could we begin to talk with them? How too could text be added to Google Street View with time slider, text in the sidebar, such that I could ask Google Street View with Google Bard and with Google voice questions, in a way that Street View and avatars could become iterating docents in a museum, but one which was becoming more and more realistic and interactive, based on iterating archival materials and evidence? Thank you

Here's an example of a related Google AI developing system, possibly helpful, and as an example -

"As we continue to experiment with bringing generative AI to Search, we’re adding new capabilities to help you get more done — like the ability to generate imagery or create the first draft of something you need to write. Learn more ↓"

And here's an example of Google Street View with time slider with 3 dates, 2023, 2017, and 2012 as a basis from which to develop from -

So was 58 Thayer street a hippy commune in the 60s and 70s? Are there archives, from individuals, people a Peter Norvig head of Google AI might know of? Could you and I add all such resources in an iterating way to potentially be able to talk to a hypothetical Pigpen and Janis Joplin if they could have hypothetically even visited 58 Thayer street brainstorming-wise?

So, again - 
Brown University's Hay and Pembroke libraries - how could I and others and Brown could best wiki-add all the hippie commune photography from the 1960s and 1970 with AI too to Google Street View with time slider, of specific houses too, & for emerging #ReaiisticVirtualEarth #WUaSResearch ... and make conversationally interactive?

Looking forward to potentially developing such a project over the decades ahead in the form of a Realistic Virtual Earth for History and Realistic Virtual Earth for Everything, including ... For Counterculture (I've created many related #Hashtags on Twitter about this over the years)

Many of the above questions emerge in seeking to create a Realistic Virtual Harbin Hot Springs, my anthropological field site, for ethnographic research, and regarding my first large book, - 

Naked Harbin Ethnography:                  
Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin

~ and here's another example of Google Street View with a time slider https://goo.gl/maps/7gSsSTweRCBo9gf87 (to which I've added a number of photos over the years) ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~?


Thank you, best regards, Scott

"#SANPO (also the Japanese word for ”#BriskStroll”)" How best to interpretation with a #PhysicalDigital #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics, in 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth a #RealisticVirtualHarbin for #WUaSEthnographicResearch #WUaSSTEMResearch (think #GoogleStreetView w #TimeSlider)

Scene understanding, Accessibility, Navigation, Pathfinding, Obstacle avoidance dataset, or a multi-attribute video dataset for outdoor human egocentric scene understanding.




*
As most people navigate their everyday world, they process visual input from the environment using an eye-level perspective.

also applies to new technologies that understand the world around us from a human-like perspective, e.g., robots navigating through unknown buildings, AR glasses that highlight objects, or assistive technology to help people run independently.


Conclusion - 

includes real and synthetic samples with dense prediction annotations 

We hope SANPO will help researchers build visual navigation systems for the visually impaired and advance visual scene understanding.
