Covecanstvo je napravilo korak dalje u pretvaranju realnog sveta u - Internet stranice.
Setate se gradom, stanete ispred hotela i kazete sebi "koliko li bi me kostala soba ovde?" Izvucete mobilni telefon, uperite ga u hotel i kliknete i na telefonu se pojavi veb-strana tog hotela na kojoj cete lako naci trazeni podatak.
Zvuci sasavo? Japanci to vec imaju, krece izgleda sirenje po celom svetu.

Point and Click on Buildings: The World Becomes the Web
You stand in front of a hotel. You point your cell phone at it. You click. The hotel's Web page appears on the device's screen. You check accommodations, prices, vacancies and inquire about special offers. Then you walk in or walk on.
That's right — the world will turn into the Web and clicking an icon on the screen of a desk-tethered PC will be passé. Clicking will become a matter of interacting with the environment, thanks to the advent of "location-based services" (LBS).
It's already a reality in Japan through the KDDI network there, using software from GeoVector Corp. in San Francisco. Pamela Kerwin, GeoVector's vice president of strategic development, explained that LBS requires that the phone has GPS circuitry, so it knows where it is. Additionally, it needs to have a compass so it knows where it is pointed.
The user points and clicks the LBS phone at the building in question, and the phone's application software accesses a database of map locations, determines what building or business the phone is pointed at and links to its Web site, Kerwin explained.
