Panoramics of London + CommunityWalk.com + Google Maps

Digitally Distributed Environments is a blog which features some mind-boggling panoramic images from around London, England such as the Tower Bridge, St Pauls Cathedral and Trafalgar Sqaure to name a few. These images obviously make more sense to be displayed geographically rather than in a text format so the image owners turned to CommunityWalk.com which allowed them to create a Google Map overlay with the locations of the panoramas mapped out. This makes browsing the images much easier and gives the viewer context by displaying the street names and satellite images from Google Maps. Here is the end result..

I am also working on directly integrating these quicktime "videos" which display the real panoramic shots directly into the infowindow. I also plan on enabling flash videos. The files will have to be hosted somewhere else though.
