The Musuem of London launched a break-through AR app last night. It uses 3d, video and geolocation to remake your personal tour of London into a live look at the past.

The app leads you to various locations around London using either the map or GPS. Once you’re there, click the “3D View” button, and the app will recognize the location and overlay the historical photograph over the live video feed of the real world, giving you a brief glimpse into how the past looked:
This strikes me as a huge opportunity for tourism bureaus...to do more than show a map of the city and show people what to expect inside the great restaurants, big venues, beautiful museums. Love what technology can do for experience. Totally downloading this one.
