Juan Sanchez just turned me on to a recent TED video where Blaise Aguera y Arcas demos some outrageously thought provoking video of Bing Maps, Seadragon, and Photosynth integration. This is a really excellent example of digital convergence.
The video gets extra special cool when, in real time, there is somebody creating an augmented reality experience where they are taking video at street level and it is being perfectly superimposed over the on-screen view of the “map”.
There was an Alternate Reality Game a while back that had photographs of locations that were supposed to be from the future. Most of the photos showed little change, but a few of them foreshadowed some major events to come. I feel like I’ve just looked at one of those photos.
