Can be an app that exists on other platforms or a new idea, as long as you don't mind sharing.

Since we're still a relatively small magazine it might be fun to have a conversation starter as a sticky post each week. Next Saturday I'll start a thread to collect ideas for the following week's question!

Apple Maps with look-around

Google street-view has already been a small game changer to my line of work, previously we had to go on location to check local conditions for quotations and now it's often enough to check street-view and I believe even more "local presence" you'd get with this headset might be helpful for that.

I'm hoping Apple has had the Vision Pro on the roadmap long enough that their cars are capturing stereoscopic images...

Google is exposing 3d models via an API now, not at the street view level, but at the google-earth level. Someone will definitely build an app using that at the least. Here's a demo that shows off the level of detail - note that you could wait for the high detail models before showing them to the user.
