I disagree that this is the most technologically wonderful way possible. The image viewing navigation in Google Earth is terrible. Dragging the little hand around, completely opposite of the way we normally view VR images in the rest of the world, is a giant step backwards for the world of VR photography. Why does Google Earth display VR images this way? It's so bad that I never use the feature, except occasionally the "street view" mode if I am really looking for a location in the map. When it comes to viewing images in the 360Cities database, I would never use this terrible interface. That's just my opinion.
