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

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.)
