That is how it would appear in my view, but how are you going to  
compute the data in the first place? Polarised light can be shown with  
polarising filters, but try doing the same for heat maps of people's  
movements, pollution levels over time, or other abstract and  
extrapolated and collected data.

The point is to link the data to the location in real time so that I  
don't have to read text books and make the connection, or see a  
picture of somewhere else and make the connection. The data is already  
connected and around me, so I should be able to access it and see it  
as an extension of my senses.
