'Augmented reality', where computer-stuff is overlaid onto realtime camera stuff, has great promise.
I saw pictures from a game-concept for the failed hand-held the Gizmondo, which had a camera and 3D abilities. The camera was pointed at a real-world game-board that the game was able to track, and a 3D fighting game was superimposed. Multiple people could play with their own handsets, pointing their cameras at the board.
