We have the tools. Where is the cool stuff?

"Wallhack" is one of my Top 10 Media Innovation Ideas. I'm publishing one media innovation each day during the ten first days of October.

Today's idea doesn't have a business logic, nor it is useful to any community I can think of.

I'm only mentioning it because with it WE CAN SEE THROUGH BUILDINGS.

Wallhacks, an augmented city X-ray, is an app for iPad that uses gps and compass in addition to Google streetview. The idea is that the user can see with this app, what does the street behind the building in front of the user looks like.

Technically, the GPS information and the orientation information would be used to draw a map vector that is used to pick a correctly oriented image from the next street.

In computer games, this would be cheating. In real life, this might be the future of, errr, remembering if it was not this but the next street where that cool bar was?

Could augmented reality please have a breakthrough, please? And micropayments? And now that we are at it, it would be nice to have fusion energy as well.
