Gizmo Watch —

We’d been hearing of AR making into phones to let us fell a life in the future, and it is an application of the iPhone 3GS that we have final to help us experience just that. iPhone 3GS’ video camera, using GPS and compass, lets us overlay the nearest tube stops for every line on the video camera.

Acrossair has developed a new app for iPhone users in central London, the Nearest Tube 3GS iPhone app. This application helps the users locate the nearest tube station in Central London.

"I know that face." But my brain wasn't playing, and it was only when I asked somebody later on that I discovered I'd been sitting next to one of the greatest novelists in the entire universe.

Waiting for Apple to update the iPhone software to 3.1. That gives developers the ability to lay data over the camera viewer, and these apps can take full advantage of this new capability. However, you will need an iPhone 3GS with its extra graphics grunt to take advantage of these apps - the old-skool hardware in the 3G just won't do. Right, on with the list. And we've even got video of all the apps in action, too. 1. Bionic Eye By Presselite, this ...
