A new form of mobile navigation that uses computer vision, in addition to traditional GPS, to guide you through the streets of San Francisco. http://occipital.com/blog
Even those would be based on this sort of technology...gps isnt accurate enough to pinpoint you. Crowd-source generated point clouds of citys, howeveer, would be. As for contacts, I think people are overlooking side-projection. (imagine a little rod extending out from your ear, acting as both an earphone and projecting images straight into your retine....bipassing focusing issues completely)
Very impressive. Looks rather photosynthy as others have pointed out....but this is far better as its applying it for a real, practical use, rather then just a social fancy photo thing. Of course, the harder task would be finding your way though a city avoiding the starbucks :P
I know you guys like to champion your "faster than real-time" method of harvesting 3D data from your imagery.
But maybe if you spent more CPU cycles harvesting the data - the 3D data would be of a higher quality.

No, the future will be GPS like arrows inserted in the display element of your contact lenses.
