Google Earth's 3D dataset continues to grow and improve in quality over time. Many of the most famous tourist sites around the world are viewable in 3D. And, if you haven't visited these sites recently, it's worth checking back. Google has been gradually improving the resolution of the 3D terrain around the world. Places like the Grand Canyon, Mount St. Helens, and the Matterhorn are much better than they were when Google Earth was first released. Famous sites like Stonehenge, Christ the Redeemer, Pyramids of Giza, and many others have recently had improved 3D models added. Many of these models are coming from modelers who submit them to the 3D Warehouse and were selected to be included in the Google Earth 3D Buildings layer.

I love this idea... on the other hand I'm afraid in the near future people will stop travelling or getting out of the house because most things can be seen on the internet... and now even in 3d. The motivation will be smaller. Although maybe the opposite is true.

Its amazing what google comes up with every day, they take everyones ideas and blends them into their products seamlessly. I would love to see video feeds when you zoom into specific locations as well.
