A new application from a company called Metaio is using augmented reality (AR) in order to allow users to leave tweets, messages, web pages and 3D models in a real space for other users to view or pick up when there are in the vicinity.
This cool little application opens up a whole number of new development routes from augmented graffiti to leaving a virtual message outside someones apartment if they are out through to tagging locations, restaurants and services with virtual comments for users to view by simply pointing the mobile device at the location. I am personally particularly interested in the 3D model route. Imagine being able to see the interior of selected buildings (and navigate on around it as well) by staying on the pavement!
The application is currently under development for iPhone, Google Android, Windows Mobile and Symbian S60 platforms. Check the website out at http://www.metaio.com/
