This fits in somewhat with the recent discussion about fotonotes and image tagging.

The video: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/129

This technology takes thousands of images and combines them into an exploreable image, where you can zoom in and explore buildings with each individual image tagged and containing information that is accessible. The creator of the technology used flickr to gather images for his demonstration; we need to introduce this guy to Commons! He was talking about how more information would be available - Commons images tend to have far more info than photographs on flickr, and we would be a better source of images with detailed information and data.

It's a fascinating demo, I hope this becomes widespread; if we can get involved somehow all the better. Enjoy.
