Google to Add "Store View" Walkthroughs?

Is this Google's newest feature?

New York retailer Oh Nuts experienced an odd thing the other day: a Google photographer came in and took pictures of the entire store in all directions, stopping every 6 feet. Sounds a lot like Google Street View, except inside a retail esteblishment.

This makes sense. Google is taking it the next level, letting you walk around inside those buildings you see when you glide through Google Street View. So stores could be next. And what after that? Our bedrooms?

On the possibility of "Google Store View", Google's response: "We are always experimenting with new features for Google Maps. We have nothing further to announce at this time."
