Due to recent concerns over privacy infringements by Street View Google have been forced to develop new face blurring technology.
In order to ensure that individuals can not be identified in Street View imagery Google have decided to blur faces by spinning them on the page. The new technology exploits the way our brain processes visual information in order to create blurring in the image.
You can try out the effectiveness of the new face blurring technology for yourself. See if you can find the man pictured below in this Street View image.
