In our glorious times, it is not at all necessary to get up from your chair in order to travel! You just need to have a computer with an Internet connection and run on it Google street view, and with the help of this service you can get almost anywhere. Even in The White house - the residence of the President of the United States!
A little over a year ago, on the Kulturologia. Ru website, we talked with admiration about the appearance of a subsidiary project of the Google Street View service - a virtual guide to the largest museums in the world called Google Art Project. Then came Google Street Art View, which tracks the best works of street art.
And now Google Street View and Google Art Project have reached one of the most famous museums in the world, which is also the residence of the President of the United States of America - the White House!
The White House, despite its status as a museum, is one of the most closed and inaccessible buildings in the world. Only employees of the US Presidential Administration and a few visitors who are allowed there when the Leader of the Nation is absent for some reason can wander the corridors and rooms of this building.
But now any Internet user can get inside the White House - this museum was filmed by specialists of the Google corporation using HD cameras using fisheye technology.
So now a three-dimensional interactive model of the most famous house in the world is available on the Google Art Project website, walking along which you can get a huge amount of information about the building itself, as well as about paintings, statues, furniture and other interior elements that you will find in its corridors and offices.
But you can only walk along the first two floors of the main building and the eastern Colonnade. On the third, government floor, as well as in the West Wing of the White House with the Oval Office, users of the service from Google do not have access. Perhaps for now.
