Why 90% of these apps are just drag'n'resize / rotate with photos and basic 3d. Why there is no other interaction? Eg. I would like to click on a metro station on the map to see more details. Otherwise all that was already done few years ago and it's nothing new..

I'm always looking for multi-touch and gesture applications that go beyond drag and drop and rotation. The games are pretty fun...

Have you taken a look at the Hard Rock Cafe's multi-touch Memorabilia Wall (Las Vegas)? There is a corresponding website that uses Deep Zoom and high resolution photographs. http://memorabilia.hardrock.com/
