Here's a low-cost alternative for people who want to see Disney World, but can't afford the trip. Google and Disney announced today that all U.S. Disney theme parks and resorts are on Google Street View. They feature 360-degree panoramic views of attractions from Disneyland to the ESPN Complex to the water parks.
To create the 360-degree imagery at Disney Parks, Google used Street View Trekker, a wearable backpack with a camera system on top. The Trekker is worn by an operator and is moved through walkways and structures, automatically gathering images. Imagery is then stitched together to create the 360-degree panoramas you see today.
That's a lot of walking. I hope they used more than one operator. The entrance portals to all eleven attractions can be found at the Google Blog. Yes, you'll still have the crowds. -via Boing Boing
