Google Interior Views

Google is doing it again. The company is bringing out a new service under Google Earth in which you can go beyond street view to enter buildings and tour around inside. Want to visit the Louvre? Or check out that great looking restaurant on Fifth Avenue?

Google is not the first to make this happen. However, the fact that the capability will be integrated into its popular Google Earth will seriously ramp up the importance of interior views. Businesses will be able to make use of this feature for advertising purposes. Customers will be able to do virtual shopping, check out the ambience of interiors or perhaps eventually window shop, or heck, even actually shop.

The possibilities are incredible. Further explanation is in this article.
