basically you choose a layer, then it displays a videofeed from your camera and places little bubbles on it where people have posted in that area.

So for example if I stood on a shopping street here, and selected the brightkite layer (brightkite is a loacationbased website where you post pictures and stuff) then I could move around and as I move the camera around, bubbles of what people have posted will show up in the shops that posted it at.

augmented reality.
