AI adds background noise to Google Street View scenes

Google Street View is a great way to imagine you're somewhere else, walking the streets of a bustling foreign city or making your way through a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood. Now, thanks to a project from Nao Tokui, it's become even more immersive. He's put together a feature called Imaginary Soundscapes that creates background noise based on what you're looking at in Google Street View. It's a soundtrack for your virtual walks that was first identified by the Tumblr user Prosthetic Knowledge. Imaginary Soundscapes works by using two different neural networks.
