Since OS 3.1 unload , giving devs ( almost ) open access to the iPhone ’s camera we ’ve consider a minor avalanche of augmented reality apps hit the store ; some have been interesting , like Yelp ’s , but most sense a trivial bit like tech demos . Layar , for what it ’s worth , has grown up since we last view it : now you’re able to overlie all variety of data point , from geotagged Wikipedia entries to Flickr photos to local Tweets .
You do n’t want a 3GS to use it — UPDATE : Oh , maybe you do — but without the grasp function you kind of fall back the WTF LIFE HUD prayer , and the app feels more like a political party trick than a useful tool . Layar islive(and free ) in the App Store as we speak . [ LayarviaGadget Lab ]
