Stuck at your desk, battling the workday doldrums?

Take about 3 minutes and transport yourself across the Earth with the video “Little Planet Hyperlapse’’ featuring 360-degree scenes strung together from more than a dozen countries. The video was made using images from Google Street View.

The video’s creator, pipocaVFX, takes us on a boat tour of Manaus, Brazil, a walking tour of the pyramids in Giza, Egypt, a stroll along the beach in Right Whale Bay, South Georgia Island (hi penguins), and a drive across a bridge in Seoul, South Korea.

It’s a hyperlapse video. So things move quickly. Very quickly. We imagine it’s how your tour might feel if you downed 10 cups of coffee before meeting up with your guide. But the speed with which you careen through each country is balanced nicely by the soothing sounds of Stefan Biniak’s “The Read All About It Bootleg.’’


The video, posted November 15 to YouTube, has just over 6,000 views as of this writing. Commenters seem impressed, writing, “Epico!’’ “This is f-word awesome!!!!’’ and “this better go viral.’’ We don’t know if it will go viral, but it definitely makes us want to book an international trip to … anywhere.
