(2009-09-01) Iphone Augmented Reality

Austrian-based Mobilizy is pumping up user-generated GeoTag-ging in the latest version of Wiki Tude. It's an Augmented Reality browser that superimposes information in your phone when you look at places through the viewfinder. Currently for Android, coming soon for IPhone.

French app development shop Presse Lite appears to have the first Augmented Reality (AR) supporting iPhone app live in the ITunes AppStore, though we don't know how they did it. It's called Metro Paris Subway, and while the app isn't new, it released a new version last week that added an AR overlay that displays information about Paris businesses when you look at the city through your IPhone's camera.

Oct02 update: Wiki Tude and Cyclo Pedia pull up Wikipedia entries for what you're pointing at, combining GPS with the compass in the IPhone 3GS.

• Oct06: Wiki Tude has included a virtual re-creation of the World Trade Center.
