Im not really sure what you are refering to. The street view? If so yes it is very cool, if not please elaborate.

Google Earth has supported 3D views for a while now. If this is an April Fool's joke, it's not very effective.

it's called "Aerial Imagery" and it's only available in a handful of locations. cool idea but it's going to take some time to span to a wider area.

edit:

I just checked out StreetView and saw the icon

it just overlaps the image in red/cyan, pretty funny

If you actually go into street view...there is a new option for a 3D image. I don't know if it actually works, but that is what the OP is talking about.

It has showed up in a list of online April 1st jokes, so I'm guessing it isn't going to stay around for very long.
