Weighing in at 40lbs it's a technology fest with a full computer, gps tracker integrated and a 15 camera pod on top for caputuring all the angles 360 degrees around. Here is what Google have to say about the Street View Trekker:

Today, we’re taking another step forward with our Street View Trekker. You’ve seen our cars, trikes, snowmobiles and trolleys—but wheels only get you so far. There’s a whole wilderness out there that is only accessible by foot. Trekker solves that problem by enabling us to photograph beautiful places such as the Grand Canyon so anyone can explore them. All the equipment fits in this one backpack, and we’ve already taken it out on the slopes.
