the pure enjoyment of interacting with content

This is what the web should be about, the enjoyment of interacting with content. In this case a simple pleasure of interacting with photos becomes even more powerful and emotive dependent on the interface that you do it such as the framing and lighting...

Piclens simply uderstand how photos are linked via albums, or search terms, or users and pulls this content stream into an interactive viewing platform. At any time you can link back to the webpage for that particular photo... Here is a nice little demo:

Where this sort of functionality will really take off is with interactive screens. Now imagine being at home with an interactive screen like this to show off your holiday snaps, or even more importantly showing people you holiday photos on their interactive screens remotely using this technology...

Why a brand like Canon isn't producing this kind of functionality to be associated with every photo a person sees online is beyond me...
