December 4, 2009
Google Street View now allows you to virtually tour the ruins of Pompeii in 3D. Check it out here.
According to this BBC story:
Italy’s culture ministry says it hopes the move will boost tourism to the site, state news agency Ansa reports….
“Giving people a chance to take a virtual stroll through Pompeii will give an extraordinary boost to Italian tourism,” Ansa quoted Mario Resca of the culture ministry’s heritage promotion department as saying.
Very cool.
