We were just talking about various ideas for Google Glass (a conversation which was sparked when I mentioned the thread here) and someone (eclectiqus) mentioned "Wikipedia 4d".
This would work off of geo-coded photos, of course. Say you're standing where the Berlin Wall was and, of course, it isn't there any more.
A Glass app (operating with a sizable number of geo-coded photos on Commons) could re-create the view you would have had 25 years ago at that place.
Now, how to add geo-coding to old photos...
Mark.
Keep adding the ideas to mw.org and hopefully see we'll have some demo units to play with.
