"I'd like to know what it is."


    "Point and Find" technology is becoming more and more popular.
    Below I'd like to describe an idea which is based on this technology.

    Imagine that you are a tourist in a new country and you are walking around.
    You have a mobile with gps and orientation sensor. To get to know about any building next to you, just point your device to the object and get any information about it ( what it is, contact data if available, etc.)
