Hi there,
I have watched the video, and i don't think this is an AR app. For AR APP's you must point your camera to a pattern, and that deploys the 3D animation.
Here there is not pattern, I think this is a combination between geolocation and 3D. In fact, when the camera is turned left or right, new adds show up determined by the orientation(digital compass i guess).
Anyway, is an interisting application.

Sorry but there's no such rule about AR. Augmented reality is simply augmenting (adding to) the reality, so in this case, adding signs that tell you how far away and in what direction places are. AR is not necessarily about overlaying graphics on top of particular patterns.

Do you have an editor? FFS, what is "letting you visual Points of Interests located nearby in all US cities." and what's not entirely sure it's legal ("and it’s not entirely sure it’s legal")?

This is very cool! I am not sure about paying to expand your categories.. but the technology is very impressive. Much potential here for the future.

This is entirely legal. Yelp has had AR publicly in their 3.1 app since a couple days after 3.1 was released. It's free too :P

love this tech, but has anyone else noticed that in all these mobile AR demos, nobody is ever... mobile. That is, they stand in one place and turn around. They never actually use it to try and find what it is they are viewing on their screen...
I wonder what the experience will be for actual consumers/tourists that are trying to find a starbucks in NYC via these apps... is it functional (i.e. does it provide real value for consumers), or just a cool tech toy? I hope it's what it promises, but I'd love to see some real field tests/reviews outta mashable...

This is just GPS. I'm waiting for optical recognition, and internet look-up. That's when the next tech revolution will really start:
"iphone, what's this?"
"Oh, it's a daisy, but it's missing a few petals, and by the wilting of it's leaves it could do with some water."
"iphone, what's that?"
"It is flight NZ304 between Manilla and Auckland, with 321 passengers on board. The plane is a 12-year-old Qantas airbus. The way it's flying indicates there is a strong headwind. It's estimated time of arrival is 3.12pm, which is 30 minutes behind schedule."
"iphone, which of these chocolate bars has the best weight/price ratio? Which one is generally rated the most delicious by people like me?"
Then in a few years... with a small camera bindi on your forehead it could constantly monitor your environment for irregularities and important information. It could tell you if there was a high chance that someone was lying to you, for instance.
When environment recognition starts, that's when the cyborg revolution will begin. Life will start to get pretty freaky.
I prefer the new AR application Nearest Places. Worth a play!

I'm starting to wonder if developer's are going a little AR crazy. There's another AR app which was added in an update yesterday. I thought it was a joke at first but it isn't; check out the app Cheap Gas. It now shows the stations prices and logo on a tag when pointed in their direction. The developer's are calling the feature "Cyborg" I think it's free too.
