Hugh Pickens writes “Google is taking its Street View mapping service indoors with plans moving ahead for 360-degree Business Photos, a program that would send Google photographers to various businesses to snap professional photos for their Places Page. ‘This experience, using Street View technology, includes 360-degree imagery of the business interior and storefront,’ says Google. ‘With this immersive imagery, potential customers can easily imagine themselves at the business and decide if they want to visit in person.’ Photographs are taken by ‘trusted’ photographers, though businesses can also upload their own images via Google Places.

The pilot program already includes such familiar names as Toyota, book publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and design firm Razorfish. All totaled, over 200 “marquis brand” companies in 25 countries have signed up for the program… And while the majority of those companies have opted to keep their names hidden for now for competitive reasons, Microsoft is working with them to get the applications up and running, so they can debut as soon as possible. Just don’t expect the Redmond-based company to do any first party apps for this program.'”
