Although not strictly photography related, I thought this demonstration of up and coming technology from Microsoft Research labs was just amazing. Basically, instead of just panning around in a 360 degree fashion with Google street view, Microsoft street slide gives you a zoomed out view and you can basically slide along a street to give you a fuller perspective of the shop and housefronts.

Anyway, watch the video and you'll think - why didn't they think of this sooner? It just makes so much more sense, especially in busy city streets.
