Augmented reality is mobile on the iPhone 3Gs. Sweet London Tube locater app via acrossair
Augmented reality on the iPhone 3Gs is going to be huge this year. Just a couple weeks after the release of the handset, acrossair has launched one of the first apps to integrate true augmented reality, showing you in a kind of heads-up-display where the nearest London tube station is located. Glad to see that the first example (that I’ve seen, anyway) is a functional one. Hopefully someone will bring this to the states. I’m wondering if this technology is actually any easier to use than a traditional map with GPS. Cooler, sure, but easier?
Either way, I’m imagining a not-so-distant future where we’re all walking around with head harnesses to hold our iPhones in front of our faces so we can escape the confines of reality-reality... But that’ll just be a temporary fix. I’m sure Apple is hard at work on iGlasses as we speak.
