But far cooler is a Google  StreetView “Holodeck” simulator that Google has at its Mountain View campus.  Climb into this, and you get StreetView scenes animated, projected on screens  all around you, as if you were inside the camera itself.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://searchengineland.com/google-holodeck-streetview-in-360-degrees-19808"><P>Think of it as CircleVision For Streetview, CircleVision being the popular  Disneyland and Disneyworld rides where cameras were used to film in 360 degrees.  Images were then projected on the walls all around the audience and could  produce such a sense of montion that people used handrails to keep themselves  stable at times.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://searchengineland.com/google-holodeck-streetview-in-360-degrees-19808"> But this is one of the coolest new attractions I’ve seen  lately.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://searchengineland.com/google-holodeck-streetview-in-360-degrees-19808"><P>Here are some more pictures:</p> <P><A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/searchengineland/3569876649/" title="Google StreetView Holodeck by search-engine-land, on Flickr"><IMG width="500" height="375" alt="Google StreetView Holodeck" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3637/3569876649_2bb4ec47ba.jpg" /></A></p> <P><A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/searchengineland/3569875189/" title="Google StreetView Holodeck by search-engine-land, on Flickr"><IMG width="500" height="375" alt="Google StreetView Holodeck" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3640/3569875189_704f3c16b0.jpg" /></A></p> <P><A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/searchengineland/3569873573/" title="Google StreetView Holodeck by search-engine-land, on Flickr"><IMG width="500" height="375" alt="Google StreetView Holodeck" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2431/3569873573_2bdf281424.jpg" /></A></p> <P><A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/searchengineland/3570691696/" title="Google StreetView Holodeck by search-engine-land, on Flickr"><IMG width="500" height="375" alt="Google StreetView Holodeck" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2465/3570691696_3b25debba0.jpg" /></A></p> <P><A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/searchengineland/3569878005/" title="Google StreetView Holodeck by search-engine-land, on Flickr"><IMG width="500" height="375" alt="Google StreetView Holodeck" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3555/3569878005_c6a1fd6b52.jpg" /></A></p> <P><A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/searchengineland/3570700498/" title="Google StreetView Holodeck by search-engine-land, on Flickr"><IMG width="375" height="500" alt="Google StreetView Holodeck" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3626/3570700498_0102f6340f.jpg" /></A></p> <P><A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/searchengineland/3570697522/" title="Google StreetView Holodeck by search-engine-land, on Flickr"><IMG width="375" height="500" alt="Google StreetView Holodeck" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3302/3570697522_0eb1fcd6a9.jpg" /></A></p> <P><A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/searchengineland/3570693998/" title="Google StreetView Holodeck by search-engine-land, on Flickr"><IMG width="375" height="500" alt="Google StreetView Holodeck" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3653/3570693998_b6707072bc.jpg" /></A></p> <P>And the ceiling as a manhole cover:</p> <P><A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/searchengineland/3570696052/" title="Google StreetView Holodeck by search-engine-land, on Flickr"><IMG width="500" height="375" alt="Google StreetView Holodeck" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2433/3570696052_567d03bd71.jpg" /></A></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/22262DB2-91A1-4FBF-BDFE-71778BBBCC14/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
