This video of a new app called Nearest Tube has been posted on YouTube
The goal of the application for the iPhone 3GS is to find the nearest tube/underground in London.
As one could expect, these apps will be made by every developer arround. I am hoping that one of them will start with an openPlatform version on with a 3rd party can plot its data for free via an SDK/API.
Here’s a video of what’s possible on the iPhone 3G.
The application is capable of displaying 10 frames per second in live-video realtime tracking.
It was made using version 4.4 of the ARToolkit, created by ARToolworks.
The iPhone 3G S will probably be much faster in rendering the images over the video.
