New Live Video Maps from Bing

bing-maps-qwest-field

Last Thursday at TED, Microsoft wowed the crowd with their latest update to their search engine Bing.  Blaise Aguera y Arcas, who is the architect of Bing maps, demonstrated a live video mapping feature.  During the demo, he zoomed into 3-D images of the streets of Seattle which also has integrated live video.

This add-in to Bing could be a very useful feature letting you check traffic levels, crowds waiting outside of stores and restaurants, etc.
