Sekai Camera AR iPhone App

Kjeld — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 20:28:26 +0000

This new video came to my attention yesterday.

Tokyo-based developers Tonchidot have created a way that allows phone users to write information about objects viewed through a phone’s camera.

The Sekai camera calculates your position using GPS and images, then displays information graphically on top of your real-world view.

The company has released a demonstration of a prototype version being tested on an iPhone at a Paris science museum.
