Matt says 1/17/2012 at 10:48 am Love his little eye looking at you. They do street view on foot in Tokyo? Reply
Lee says 1/17/2012 at 4:35 pm Yeah, I was pleased to have got that. I don’t know. That’s what I assumed was going on, but I didn’t see any Google logos anywhere. Reply
Jaska says 1/17/2012 at 7:06 pm Sorry to disappoint you Matt and Lee, but to me that looks like a prism he’s holding. It’s used in surveys in conjunction with other devices to measure distances/elevations/locations etc. There probably was a guy with a moderns version of this: http://www.patented-antiques.com/images/WEB-Sale-Cats/ZZ-CSGN/z-c-wt/survey/s-tran/P1300392.JPG on a tripod nearby measuring things.
