Am I the only one who's first thought that came to mind when reading up on Color was the Sonar SuperComputer App in Batman: The Dark Knight? I don't mean this to be silly but the concept seems very similar in terms of data and perspective joined with location. If it reaches any type of criticality they'd have an absurd amount of visual data around location and time. That could've piqued Sequoia's interest.


Seems there are several of us thinking along these lines.

My version: "Color" + "PhotoSynth" = "OMG-level 3D world modeling"

Hype a critical mass of interest, throw a lot of CPU cycles at the data, port the results to Google Earth ... yow.
