Cool.... we have a thing here called Virtual Vancouver that lets you tour the streets in this city. Almost walk in stores. Done with 360 degrees shots and put into a quicktime format for the motion.Pick a street from a map and go walking. So cool too.

Another Fun fact: my road is about a quarter-mile long and paved with tar and gravel and stil shows up even though you can't tell from the image that it is there. That really ticks me off because just south of my town everything goes from a giant blur with absolutely no detail to almost seeing the stripes on the highway even though that is all there is: a highway.
