While this is a neat way to navigate panoramas, in practice it is very difficult to get a smooth transition between perspectives without a lot of source images (you can tell when they switch to the unstitched view that they were using a much higher density of images than with street view panoramas, especially at intersections).

Interestingly, multi-perspective push-broom images is essentially how the street-view team got started.
