Google has released a list of 20 360-degree cameras that are available or will be launched over the coming months that have been certified according to Google's new 'Street View ready' standard.
This means they can be used in conjunction with the Street View app to create content for the Google Street View platform.
The cameras meet one of four new “Street View ready” standards, allowing users to choose the way of uploading 360-degree content that is most suitable for them.
Street View mobile ready: 360 cameras that can publish Street View directly from a mobile app, without requiring a desktop workflow
Street View auto ready: 360 cameras tailored for vehicle-based collection with the highest accuracy
Street View vr ready: 360 cameras or systems that collect geometry in addition to generating sets of connected 360 photos
Street View workflow ready: Publishing tools (sometimes bundled with cameras) that can upload to Street View accounts
You can see the list of certified cameras in the graphic at the top of this page. More information on the Street View ready standards is available on the Google developer website. Many of the cameras in the list will be on show at Google's Street View Summit in Tokyo, Japan this week.
