Really Cool!

I can see Wii doing something like that eventually, but visualizing it would be pricey!!!

I can see eventual parents of delinquent children having to confiscate virtual spraycans, and virtual flaming poo bags cause junior is up to trouble on the whitehouse web site
 :D
Just when you thought you were out of Mame???

That is just ---smurfing--- sweet.

Imagine leveraging GPS and free WiFi hotspots to download the virtual graffiti. With a portable laptop/PDA/cell/whatever and a pair of virtual glasses, imagine a whole other virtual world hidden on the streets of a major city.

There was a Digg article a long time ago where someone created a false electrical wall socket box that plugs into an outdoor wall socket. It had a passthru for powering whatever is plugged in but it had additional circuitry powered by the 112v line. Imagine setting up markers with wireless downloadable graffiti.

I don't think so. Most of the folks who make this kind of stuff are of the hacker persuasion. (Hardware hacking that is.)
