Taking it on as a public service, he decided to take the pictures himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Garcia wanted to provide more than just photos. His initial idea was to create a 3D tour of Kendall Campus, as well as upload building maps to help guide new Kendall Campus students and allow citizens from other countries see what colleges are like in the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">De Arazoza and Garcia met Kendall Campus CIO Floyd Pittman to request permission for the project in November of last year. Pittman then set up a meeting between them and Kendall Campus President Beverly Moore-Garcia. De Arazoza and Garcia got approval to upload photos and building maps of the Kendall Campus on Google Maps. Garcia could not produce a 3D tour due to the sensitive nature of the information needed to construct it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the project approved, the Computer Club organized a group of students to begin operations. However, the team ended up whittling down to Garcia himself, longtime friend David Huerta and Computer Club President Alejandro Cespedes. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA couple people got behind him, but nobody actually stuck by it,\u201d Cespedes said. \u201cHonestly, I did play a big role in this project, like I made sure he took pictures of every building that he could, but he was the one that dedicated hours upon hours on this project.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the mid-fall term to the end of the spring term, Garcia took the photos, with some help from Huerta and management by Cespedes. While working on the project, Garcia needed to be careful not to show license plate numbers or suggestive actions in his pictures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most photographs on Google Maps are either taken by Google or private corporations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOur base map data (things like place names, borders, and road networks) come from a variety of authoritative public and commercial data sources, user contributions, and imagery references,\u201d said Mara Harris, Google San Francisco-based Maps Global Communications Specialist.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In order to take each photo, Garcia had to go through a specific process on the Google Street View app. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn the Google Maps photo, you have to take a picture right in front of you and it takes a couple of seconds, and then you have to move to another side, then another side so basically you have to make a 360 picture and go from top to bottom,\u201d Huerta explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The picture is then uploaded to Google Maps by an automated process that determines whether the image is of the actual area. Google then enhances the image to be consistent with lighting. Once uploaded, Garcia examines the photo to determine whether it needs to be retaken and where he should go to next.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When not focused on the Google Street View project, Garcia spends his time studying, learning about computers and enjoying Sherlock Holmes mysteries. He also helps his parents run <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hemaginc.com\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Hemag Inc<\/span><\/a>, a security system supplier started by his father, Eberto Garcia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Henley Garcia\u2019s photos have been uploaded, the building maps are still in the process of being approved as they require review by Google personnel. Garcia hopes to extend the scope of the project to all MDC campuses after completing his work at Kendall Campus.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Henley Garcia, 19, a software engineering major, could easily be mistaken for another amateur photographer as he surveys the Kendall Campus decked out with a computer club T-shirt with his iPhone.
