Google MapsAn academic has explained how he staged a Google Street View “masterpiece” appearing to show him attacking his colleague with a hammer.
Gideon Futerman was visiting the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides in the summer when he spotted Google’s car-mounted 360-degree camera approaching.
He and his friend quickly came up with the idea to stage an altercation with a geological hammer that would be captured onto Google Street View.
The camera captured the moment Mr Futerman’s friend appears to brandish the hammer towards him.
Google Maps“Over the summer, I went to the very North of the Isle of Lewis on a field trip to map the geology there with a close friend of mine,” he wrote on X.
“The google street view car went past. We had a geological hammer.
“The following masterpiece, now on google street view, was the result.
“I know I mostly post serious stuff on here, but this was simply too funny to not share.”
