So, there are a lot of interesting iPhone apps that use Flickr, but not one that does something that I think would be pretty stunningly cool. Here's what it would do:
- Using your current location, the application would cycle through full-screen photos that were taken nearby
- Configuration would be extremely simple, perhaps only a preference for how long a photo would stay on screen before advancing to a new one
- As you walk, drive (as a passenger!), fly on a plane with WiFi, take public transit, and so on, you'd be entertained by a continuing slideshow on photos taken near your current location at any given time. This could be especially interesting when traveling.
- Tapping on the photo could give you some metadata (title of the photo and/or description) so you know what you are looking at
- There could be a way to manually advance the photo (swipe, for example)
- Perhaps there could be a way to say 'I love this photo' or 'I hate this photo' so future photos could be tailored based on keywords or other metadata
I don't imagine the application would take too much work and there are already similar applications that use location data to show photos near where you are currently, but I could not find anything exactly like this.
