You've probably see Google's StreetView shots when you're looking at Google Maps. It's cool to be able to pan around, zoom in, and "take control of the camera" while looking at images taken right outside your door. Now, imagine the same thing in Haiti after the devastating earthquakes recently. Now imagine doing that with video instead of still snapshots. I'm not sure exactly what technology was used to capture these interactive videos, but it sure looks like the next big thing. Fascinate (is that a word?) with the technology, then place yourself in the car, driving through all that ruin. Watching people wander dazed, confused, lonely and afraid. It's so sad.
You can see four videos including a walking section at CNN's site
