Microlearning

When you point the phone’s camera toward a particular location, it displays “points of interest” in that location, such as restaurants, stores, and museums.

Think of a simple augmented reality app on your iPhone such as Yelp Monocle.

But this is just the beginning. What if, instead of restaurant and store information, we could access historical, artistic, demographic, environmental, architectural, and other kinds of information embedded in the real world?

Future: As you walk around with your cell phone, you can point to a site and see what it looked like a century ago, who lived there, what the environment was like.
