The zoom-able book is actually something I would buy right now.

Okay, "3d models" is actually too generous. What they have is a way of locating photos of a single place in 3D space and allowing you to browse them in that manner. Would be mildly entertaining when cross-linked with the internet so you have hundreds of available photos. Like, you find a picture you took in 1999 and the internet figures out where you were when you took it and what you were next to. So we can all find the exact location of Pedroland!

are all the pictures from Google Maps' Street View enough to start generating 3d maps of certain cities?
