Sekai Camera on iPhone turns entire world into virtual encyclopedia
Earlier this year we profiled an amazing concept device that would
detail real-time data for objects framed within its view screen. Now
the incredible pace of accelerating technology has made this device a
reality in the form of the Sekai Camera (or "world camera" in
Japanese) on the iPhone. Developed by Tokyo-based Tonchidot, the
software allows users to geotag any real world location with helpful
information for other users of the software traveling to those areas.
By simply using Sekai Camera on your iPhone while in a tagged
location, various bits of information will show up on your screen
while viewing the location through the camera lens. The vast possible
uses for this software boggle the mind. No release date or price have
been announced, but in the meantime you can see the software in action
here.
