The future of Augmented-Reality Maps

OK, I love TED Talks, in fact I could spend my days watching their talks. In other words, I need an avatar to take care of the mundane things of life such as going to work while I can actually do interesting things! In the meantime, fresh from the TED2010 conference: here is an amazing talk by Blaise Aguera y Arcas, an architect at Microsoft Live Labs, in which he demonstrates how Photosynth software is transforming cartography into a user experience: first by stitching static photos together to create zoomable, navigatable spaces, then with superimposed video for a swear-you-are-there experience.
