This article speaks to me. For language learning and teaching, take a technology like Mumble(1) with positional audio and integrate it into a game so you hear those around you as in real-life?
Or what about taking a chapter from a textbook and making it into a level in a game? The spatial world would help players to remember and fix things in their memory, and they could always return to review.
Or a game tailored for language learning through real world situations, where a teacher sets up a 'lesson' and then the students bring it to life. Maybe that shopkeeper is a native speaker calling in and playing. The possibilities are endless.
And this sounds amazing; bringing physicality to ephemeral webpages that are here and gone the next moment:
"I could place my personal site on a street near the websites of my friends. We could form a little village. I could then go to my favorite sites and walk around nearby to find sites like them. This is a spatial interface that would give us a new and intuitive way for navigating the Internet and understanding how websites are related each other."
