This app uses place based user created data but, because there is no compass, the overlay is not based on specific objects - it's just a floating list ordered by location with a video background. Still, we'll find some things do not need to be localized, while others do, including new kinds / combinations of information we haven't thought of because we are still mostly working & thinking from a desktop web model. This project at least pushes us into thinking about micro local media. The idea of place based media and data is a new one and will take a while to catch on.

They should at least implement image recognition that can identify floors, walls, ceilings and buildings using a wire-frame model. Like that they could determine the orientation of the user. Waiting for yet another expensive sensor to be built in is not an option. Until then, things will be plastered with tags so hard these tags aren't of any use anymore. If not, they have an even bigger problem (i.e. not enough users). Idea fantastic – technical execution bad.
