The Old City of Dubrovnik
A cool project by The Graphics and Imaging Laboratory of the University of Washington’s Department of Computer Science and Engineering, where thousands of photos of a city from Flickr are analyzed to rebuild a 3D model of the whole city. (4,619 images and nearly 3.5 million 3D points).

#5 The "strange cubes" represent actual camera positions, from where all the pics were taken.

If this was made up of images, why don't we get a look at any of the images making up the model?

The implications of this tech are amazing, you can fully render into 3-D images using only pics found on the internet to create a virtual world to explore anywhere pictures have been taken on the planet. sort of like Google's virtual 3-D road map but totally 'free flying'.
TED.com did a presentation referring to this.
