We're developing Pachube as a platform that helps people to build applications that bridge physical and networked worlds. To that end, we are going to be releasing demo apps more frequently, and where possible all necessary code for building your own, to show off the kind of things that you can do once your data is Pachube-connected.
To start off with a bang, see this augmented reality demo where 3D Pachube visualisation data is overlayed in realtime 'on top' of Arduino sensor boxes that we have around the office:
This kind of application could provide an easy way to inspect rooms (or streets) full of sensor and environment data via a camera (e.g. iPhone)... or even AR goggles!
Since we're big fans of this awesome anime series, the demo also features the Pachube office carbon footprint wall with chalk-drawn augmented reality marker, for Dennou-Coil-style space-hacking!

Code written in c++ using openFrameworks, ArToolKit and the ofxPachube library. It's not quite ready/cleaned up for public release but we'll do so soon.
