This would make an awesome wallpaper/screen saver.

Hey Y'all on OS X. Just compile this little tool https://github.com/liquidx/webviewscreensaver

Then add the url http://randomstreetview.com/#slideshow to the url playlist of the screen saver.

Or get the binary here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/c03r77x5vm1wirp/WebViewScreenSaver...

One neat feature/bug is that if you have multiple monitors the screens seem like they are pointed to different angles of the same exact place. I suspect the randomness algo is based on JS timestamps.

awesome, it would be sweet if the slideshow does a fade in/fade out.
