Maybe a naive question, why doesn't this doesn't look like google street view?

Not OP's app in particular, but the underlying data from NASA. Nowadays the 360ยบ cameras are $400 and work really well. Obviously we're working off of 2012 tech here.

But it seems like it would be enormously useful to have a full 3d image every 20 feet like google street view. Is this really just a power / bandwidth limitation?
