Alternate reality meets the iPhone

DateWednesday, July 8, 2009 at 08:48AM

Rad, rad, rad! Meet Nearest Tube, but Acrosshair. One of the first augmented reality apps to go live in the iPhone AppStore.

Wandering around the UK and want to locate the closest Underground station? Simply look at your iPhone! This app displays All 13 lines of the underground network, pointing them out with colored arrows.

Users can see the nearest station, what direction they are in relation to their location, how far and what tube lines/stations etc. If you continue to tilt the phone upwards, you will see stations further away, as stacked icons.

Available to Apple iPhone 3GS users. Enjoi!

I think the Iphone cost is just stupid! If I had that kind of money to throw away on a phone it wouldn't go on a phone!It takes a fool to throw 600 dollars away on a phone! I have meds that cost me 2500 dollars a year after insurance. The idea of 600 for a phone is just retarted! Who else is with me?

Hey there. The journal is getting super-spamalicious lately so I'm turning on comment moderation for a while. Sorry - I usually approve stuff pretty quickly, tho!
