Google Unveils Virtual Panoramas of Ski Runs At The 2010 Winter Olympic Games

February 11th, 2010

Engineer Dan Ratner explained: “In typical scrappy Google fashion, we were able to put this together over a few weekends. We used extra pieces from our Street View cars, some 2×4s, some duct tape, and a lot of extra hard drives.
