QTVR & Google Earth

One of the most visually stunning websites about Sweden is Virtual Sweden, which contains a wealth of 360-degree QuickTime VR images, and not just of Sweden.

The most recent images have a link to the actual location in Google Earth, so you can now fly to the precise location as you immerse yourself in a Swedish panorama.

One of the earliest additions of content to Google Earth involved Berkeley University's global QTVR library, back in July 2005. The KML file is still available (KMZ) , and it still provides one of the most immersive experiences available using Google Earth. Here is the original blog post.
