Social Tagging for your iPhone
I came a cross a technology today that really caught my attention. Sekai Camera (World Camera in Japanese) is developing an iPhone application (social tagging service) that will allow you to get 'Terminator' vision. Users walk around town using their iPhone’s display to get information on their surroundings. If you walk through a mall, for example, Sekai Camera tags will show you where you can find something to eat, additional information about a certain product tagged before, or how many calories in a chocolate bar.
The idea is that people will tag their surroundings and this information will be served to all the users of Sekai Camera. You can even leave messages for your friends, or the phone can overlay a map or direction on the display.
I really hope tonchidot (Tokyo based software company) succeed in getting this product to the marked as this truly is the first proper innovative application I have seen for the iPhone.
Imagine the games that can unfold in the streets of London once we start hide virtual messages around town...
