If you’ve spent any time on Google maps, you’ve probably looked at the front of your house, or walked down the main street of your town on Google Street View. Now, you actually go inside some buildings, and among the first building interiors to be mapped by Google is Vermont’s Statehouse.
Last fall, Google canvassed the Statehouse with high-tech camera equipment: two big trolleys topped with 360-degree domes that take pictures as they travel through rooms. A publicly-available floor plan is matched with the photos to stitch them together into a Google "Street View" of the Statehouse interior.
