Wouldn't it be great if visiting another country was simply a mouse click away?

Canadian agency Teehan+Lax have combined our obsession for Google Street View and road-tripping to create a powerful web tool that stitches thousands of Google Street View photos together, creating an animated ‘hyperlapse’. Users just need to pick starting and finishing points on the map, and sit back and enjoy their virtual 'drive-through'. The site currently has a viewing mode of 60-frames-per-second, for greater accessibility.

Hyperlapse works best on Chrome, and runs better on a powerful machine. All source code has also been made readily available here, so developers can play around with it and enjoy higher frame rates and better image quality. Everyone else can just pretend for a few seconds to be riding into South African sunset, or crossing the Manhattan Bridge.
