Google panoramic views

[ElizabethWiley]

Just saw this article (bit.ly/getaninsidelook) and wondered if Google has provided a new avenue for photographer freelancers to get a new line of business. Have any of you made panoramic views? What program did you use? I'm a newbie here so please be kind

This is pretty cool. Does anyone know what type equipment and software the Google photog uses?

VR and spherical panos have been around for years.
