Below is a video of a Mobile Augmented Reality browser. Basically, while you are walking the street, you can pull out your mobile phone and point it at anything. Then, using images recognition, a built-in compass and GPS the browser looks up information about whatever it is pointed at. The video shows pointing the browser at different buildings to see how much they cost. Then, it shows pointing the browser and buildings to see if there are any job openings within the building.
The video below shows this functionality in its infancy but you can imagine the things we’ll be able to do with this technology in 5 to 10 years.
This description does not do it justice. Watch the video below.

Just amazing video
Huge thanks for this amazing video. I can't believe how the mobile phone can work like that.. I have read about augmented reality few times earlier but this video has really shocked me. The distance between houses, images, prices, how is it possible? How the mobile phone can show me the distance till the next house? How can he recognize the object just from the image? It is just amazing. Thanks one more time for publishing it here and I will be definitely waiting for other great articles from you in the nearest future.
Sincerely,
Glen Thompson from mobile application development
