If Paris can augment reality with an appreciation for history, then so should San Jose. And if Google really cares, then it should help.
The best thing? You didn't even have to be in Paris. Anyone with Google Maps on a smartphone equipped with AR capabilities can pop in the Eiffel Tower and then have the same experience.
History San Jose has already partnered with Google Arts & Culture on numerous online exhibits... having AR built into Google Maps would take everything to a crazy new dimension.
It was a great idea, an enhanced way to travel. To see those sketches virtually, and watch them morph into the modern-day tower, was engaging.
