Tourism is the world's largest industry. Using this
|
|
to preview your travels, or figure out where you are,
|
|
would be very valuable.
|
|
|
|
Online gaming continues to grow. Screw "Britannia",
|
|
real-life Britain would be a fun world to wander/
|
|
conquer/explore virtually, in role-playing or real-
|
|
time-strategy games.
|
|
|
|
And of course, as James Rogers points out, it's an
|
|
ideal display substrate for all sorts of other
|
|
overlaid data. Maps are great, photrealistic 3-D
|
|
maps of everywhere which can have many other static
|
|
and dynamic datasets overlaid are spectacular.
|
|
|
|
(Combining those last two thoughts: consider the
|
|
static world map, in faded colors, with patches
|
|
here-and-there covered by live webcams, stitched
|
|
over the static info in bright colors... it'd be
|
|
like the "fog of war" view in games like Warcraft,
|
|
over the real world.)
