I'm convinced someone is reading my mind .. I invented the new micosoft live view thing..
http://preview.local.live.com/ about 8 years ago..
So i also know the next step
when i invented this sytem i devised a theory of a rotating camera mounted on a vehicle that would rotate 360 degress taking snapshots , recording the gps location on each picture so it could be easily re-mapped later..
My system was geared towards a cities tourist board though , but it allowed for commercial advertising by offering "hotspots" , so if a business wanted to offer a "hotspot" they pay and when a user passes by your busniess you could go right into the business and get a 360 degree virtual tour of the business, perhaps even being offered online services.
I notice they only have a few cities mapped in u.s.a. . Anyone interested in putting a plan together for a strategy do do this in canada.. I know what your thinking " overwhelming" but really it isn't . It would be a huge project but not impossible.. the first one in with the best product wins..

Google video also "sort of" stole a great idea i posted on gfy about a year ago. And i still think someone could make great money offering a service like it..
"pay-per-view" "do-it-yourself" videos.. you offer a system thru drm where you let users upload videos and then get paid for promoting them..basically a "do it yourself" video site where you can learn to do anything on video for a very cheap cost like $1 to learn how to install memory in a laptop $1 to learn how to cook a lobster . etc the promotion is done by the people . so if you know how to bake pot brownies , you make a video , upload it and make money when people view it.. so you post the video and promote it to make your money . the company just takes a cut..
