Google Earth, Google Maps and Google Streetview have turned surveillance data into commercial opportunities ranging from Deliveroo to Down My Street. But coverage tends to focus on popular tourist destinations and sponsored business opportunities, rather the presenting real people’s lives and neighbourhoods. Your task is to prototype an infrastructure of an interactive globe, where you can fluidly zoom in to connect to people's "best self", using the verified images they capture themselves, of their streets, homes and families. Reliable connections to real people could make the world fairer and more peaceful, rather than amplifying the voices of the loudest liars.

Google Earth, Google Maps and Google Streetview have turned surveillance data into commercial opportunities ranging from Deliveroo to Down My Street. But coverage tends to focus on sponsored business opportunities, rather than the livelihoods and communities of real women and men. Your task is to prototype an infrastructure of an interactive globe, where viewers can fluidly zoom in to connect to people's "best self", using their own verified images to represent their streets, homes and families. You’ll have the opportunity to share ideas with a leading game developer, on how to make the world fairer and more peaceful.
