As the world increasingly goes digital, real-world information becomes accessible online, enabling virtual visits to locations through street-level imagery. This imagery is invaluable for capturing daily life and sharing local perspectives, making it useful for finding attractions or services remotely. Liminal spaces, which might seem trivial, can offer crucial insights for those in need of specific information. Our interactive workshop will introduce participants to KartaView and Mapillary, covering how to access and contribute to these platforms while having fun through demonstrations using GoPro 360 cameras. Open to all, this four-hour session includes a playful scavenger hunt, turning learning into an adventure as participants hone their skills in capturing and sharing street-level imagery.
