The dataset used for the street view could easily be any number of other things: * A virtual world or alternate dimension, existing parallel to our own in the same space * As you suggest, insights into the objects and buildings in the space around us. * A view of the same location days, months, or years ago. Now think of this in reverse, as a data-capture device. With the compass and accelerometers one can stand somewhere and take a few dozen photographs and the system could easily stitch them together to form a 360-degree image from a specific point at a specific time. Imagine taking such a picture of your apartment, then accessing that picture a few days later to acheive the same VR effect where the alternate world is simply your room from a few days ago. Good call. Excellent observation. The dataset used for the street view could easily be any number of other things:
