I tried to get through the broken English, but with little success. What does this app do?

Their English isn't that bad. Perhaps yours is worse? Luckily, it seems perfectly suited for the illiterate.

Wow... The entire world,

Wow... The entire world, mediated through an iPhone. "You are looking at your mother. Send her a text message that you love her."

Almost makes you root for a planet-consuming black hole produced by the Large Hadron Collider.

If it were visor mounted I would lol. In all the visions of the future reality is objectively identifiable. In this incarnation, it is a socially mediated fuzz bucket! Priceless. Made my day. How did we not see this future coming.

Wasn't there a joke on Family Guy one time about a Virtual Reality visor that basically emulated the real world outside the visor?
And they were like "Wow, it's like I'm actually here!"

That is what this app does. You're right though, it needs a visor mount so you can have a completely mediated experience.

What does this app do?

What does this app do? Revolutionary things... such as:

"You can download information straight from the internet on your iPhone"

"when you go to shopping you could get a good price for things in the area."

"get information about new music CDs, DVDs, Films and Books that is only available on your iPhone"

"...you can send [photos] for your friends and family

Soon, you will be able to experience new internet experiences on your iPhone! Hopefully this app will bridge the internet gaps like they promise.

Now that I saw the video (on my iphone) I take my snarky sarcasm back. It does look neato-burrito.

(but the description on the companies webpage could really use a better translator)

*company's* web page

So... they mentioned that you could leave a message for your friends at the airport, and they can get it when they get there? So, is it using GPS, or image identifying to do so? And if it's the latter (as the demo implies) how is perspective handled? Does this work like Photosynth? I'm totally confused about this. If I tag an object in the real work via my phone's camera, if someone is standing on the other side of the object, how does this person get to see the tag?

Is this App available, I'd like to take it for a spin. Anyone know where I can download it?

Don't see it

I don't understand the appeal.

"you could leave a message for your friends at the airport, and they can get it when they get there"

Or I could just send them an email now, or you know, call them. It is a phone after all.

I don't know about you, but if something's on sale, I'd rather find out about it first, rather than having to walk around the store with my iPhone. I wouldn't make a trip to the store first to find out what's on sale.

hah....

That kid is toast. If he doesn't walk into a manhole, get run over or wind up mugged for his iPhone, he's probably just get beat up and mugged for looking like a prat.

Seriously, great idea but not a great application.

How about field medicine or something actually useful?

Someone needs to interview

Someone needs to interview this company. This is amazing. I am shocked it is capable of such real-time information display... how does it know what you're looking at so quickly? I get it all location specific so GPS would tell the camera where it was, but it's recognizing store fronts and products via the camera, that type of image recognition at that speed is amazing... seriously amazing.

This reminds me of the locative art concept in Spook Country by William Gibson.

An ingenious concept! It means building (by tagging) a totally new virtual dimension. Anybody knows, how far are they from releasing it?
Hope it's not a hoax.

Isn't this the concept of

Isn't this the concept of augmented reality that we've heard about on TV? But honestly, I call it fake. :) No way the iPhone is powerful enough to handle the perspective issue, as one of the poster mentioned.

What is the name of the program? I can not find it on the App store.
It it for jailbroken phones only? Anyone know more, this thing is what I am talking about. Also the Simplify...these are the vision that Apple is missing/controlling. Steve let it flow!!!!!!!!
