Microsoft : Street Slide => Infinite Panorama

Street Slide => Browsing Street Level Imagery : (The Microsoft project page )

"Systems such as Google Street View and Bing Maps Streetside enable users to virtually visit cities by navigating between immersive 360° panoramas, or bubbles.

Multi-perspective "strip" panoramas can provide a visual summary of a city street but lack the full realism of immersive panoramas."
