  • The Burj Khalifa is special because it is the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in

  • the world.

  • And we are here to bring to the user the possibility to see this huge, immense, wonderful building

  • inside out.

  • This is the first time we're in this type of building, in an Arabic country collecting

  • indoor and outdoor. So I think it will be huge for the user to have this wonderful experience

  • of being able to navigate through Street View

  • The Trekker is a new device Google created about a year ago. Its a backpack and it allows

  • you to go to all the places you want to go, like the mountain trails, narrow passages,

  • everywhere that no other device will fit. So it's just wonderful.

  • The capture of the whole building will take about three days.

  • The collect yesterday was just amazing. We went on the window cleaning baskets and we

  • went all over the building. We were on the 80th floor.

  • This is the first time I am going at this height, that Google is going, I think, at

  • this height with this device.

  • It was amazing to stand outside of the building and see the beautiful Dubai. You have the

  • sea, you have the islands and you can see everything from there.

  • We will also do the spire so that will be the cherry on the cake.

  • This project will give the user the privilege to see more of the Burj Khalifa. You can see

  • everywhere, you have something to discover.

  • I have no words really to describe it. It's just an emotional feeling, it's really great,

  • it's wonderful.
