From Street View in Google Maps while viewing a panorama pressing the letter "t" or the number "3" enables 3D mode.

This feature, however, is not yet implemented in Google Earth simply because Google decided to first implement the stereoscopic 3D feature in Google Maps presumably because there is a lot more users of Google Maps than Google Earth. With enough demand the Google Earth developers may add this to a future version of Google Earth.

How do you make Google Maps 3d?

In the new Google Maps there is an "earth" mode which shows satellite imagery and terrain which gives a 3-D like view of the earth. The Earth icon can be seen in the lower-left of the map if available.To see 3D photos in "classic" Google Maps, you will need a pair of old-fashioned red/cyan glasses, bring up Street View in Google Maps by dragging the orange Pegman onto the map. Right-mouse click on the map then select ''3D mode on" option (or press '3' key) to turn on/off 3D mode.This feature seems to be available anywhere in the world where Google currently offers Street View, but this is not currently available in the "new" Google Maps.
