This is the fifth post about this gadget.
Getting data of a weather forecast, maybe this might be possible.
When you wonder what the scene you’re looking at was like in the past, you can see it.
This might be off-topic, but it would be nice if it could work in sync with Google Maps like this.

Mainly because I don’t usually care about nutrition when I eat, this kind of function would be helpful for people like me.

Here are some more examples of how you might be able to use the device I introduced before.
(“Future of Internet Search: Mobile version” and “Future of Mobile Internet Search: Applications“.)
You can even see flowers that are not actually blooming.
There are a lot more ideas drawn in my Moleskine, so I’ll introduce them later.

I think the following ideas should enhance the functionality of the device I introduced. Many applications like these will be developed that have never been possible.
Indoor guide
Works in a building, airport, station, hospital, etc.
Automatic simultaneous translation
Search keyword
Helpful when you want to find out a word from a lot of text

(Followed by a previous post “Future of Internet Search“)
This is what I wish the internet search will be able to do with a mobile device in the NEAR future. Touch screen, built in camera, scanner, WiFi, google map (hopefully google earth), google search, image search… all in one device. Like this way, when you can see a building through it, it gives you the image search result right on the spot.
Choose a building and touch a floor and it tells you more details of the building.
Well, it doesn’t have to be a building, but it can be any object you see. You can use it when you want to know a car model, an insect name, what kind of food is served at a restaurant and how much, who built a bridge, etc. etc. But as a designer myself, I hope it’s able to tell me a name of a font of the type I see, the size, color (in RGB), and so on.
It’s got a scanner built in, so you can use it this way when you want to check the meaning of a word in the newspaper, book, magazine, etc.
It would be much easier to read a real book. You can use the dictionary, wikipedia, thesaurus and anything else available on the web. What do you think?
I won the red dot design concept award for this.

How about having a website where you can customize your cup of Starbucks coffee as you like (hopefully intuitively with lots of visual aids) on your PC, mobile or PDA and SEND it to your favorite Starbucks store? You just go to the store and tell your number given in the website, and the clerk says “OK, you pre-ordered ‘Grande Add shot Caramel Light Whip Caramel Sauce Mocha Sauce White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino’, right?” instead of your saying it. In the website, you see other customers’ choices, suggestions, tips for your choice, rankings, etc. Some of those are already realized in the Japanese Starbucks website, but I believe they can add some Amazon-like features to it. It’s wiin-win-win situation for you, Starbucks and other customers.
