Radiohead continues to be an internet pioneer with their most recent video "House of Cards" from the album "In Rainbows". Although, it's hard to even call it a "music video" because that implies that some form of video recording occurred... and it didn't.
Instead, 64 lasers were used to capture 3D images by rotating a full 360 degrees almost 1000 times per minute. Two different laser technologies were used, one for close-ups on faces and others for vast landscapes. The result is an amazing feat in data visualization.
Visit Google's Blog to watch the video, see a short documentary, and play around with the raw data:

I really think they went above and beyond by also releasing the data and a viewer that lets you interact with Thom's face as he sings the song, fantastic!
