Word Lens

Seeing the invisible is possible with the new field of augmented-reality apps.  See Word Lens below - - you point your iPhone at a sign in Spanish and the app "magically" replaces the original test with an English translation, right there in the video image in real time.

Imagine a world where you can point your iPhone at an intersection and all the underground utilities show up as lines in the image.  My prediction - - this will be possible somewhere in the world by the end of the decade.
