Before even watching the video, I guessed it was about the Aspen Movie Map. I was right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspen_Movie_Map https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspen_Movie_Map There was a Nova episode in the 1980s about it, which is how I learned about it. The description 'what would become Google Street View' implies a project continuity which I do not think existed, rather like saying 'VisiCalc was what would become Excel.' Also, and unlike Google Street View, the Aspen Movie Map let you go places which were not photographed, but could be synthetically re-created from the photographs.
