I’ve just spent the last few days in London rushing around the place, not really having a clue where I was going. Meaning that most of the time I’d rather jump into a cab than take the tube.
Well that and the heat, the Underground is hot, taxis have Air Conditioning. Also I generally don’t know where the tube stations are … however if I had this …

… then I probably would grab the Tube. As one of the comments on YouTube says …
“You missed a trick here. Surely the app could also work out my average walking speed so that as well as the distance to destination it could also display time to walk to it? :)”
To which I’d just add that it should also show when the next train is due to arrive. Allowing you to figure out if you need to speed up, or can relax.
Although not yet approved acrossair are one of the first groups of surely many many more to get AR apps out there. This is just the beginning. I also hope more people concentrate on these specific apps then general ones that’ll try and do everything.
(oh and more games plz)

I have started a facebook group petitioning Apple to open the API for video augmentation. This will allow agmented reality apps in the store! Please join and pass it on:
