By using the Street View technology, Google has a unique opportunity to make world heritage sites available to users across the globe. Street View is a hugely popular feature of Google Maps which is already available in dozens of countries. It allows users to virtually explore and navigate a neighborhood through panoramic street-level images. With advancements in camera technologies the project can now go off the beaten track to photograph some of the most significant places in the world so that anyone, anywhere can explore them.World Wonders Project .UNESCO , World Monuments Funds , Getty Images and other’s.VIDEO worldwonders
