A new augmented reality app - Just point and shoot!
Lonely Planet teamed with Mobilizy to create a new augmented reality app, catered to travelers, that uses your smartphone’s built in camera, GPS and compass. Just photograph a street corner, a cool cathedral, whatever - and get instant information from the web. Or search for hotspots (cool restaurants, bars, cafes…) nearby.
The Lonely Planet Compass, currently available now for the Android ($4.99) in 10 US cities
