WorkSnug Augmented Reality iPhone App

Posted by Tom Carpenter in augmented reality on September 9th, 2009

WorkSnug, an augmented reality app for the iPhone 3GS, has released a video of their product. The service shows in the camera view the nearest places to work. The service explains:

WorkSnug is an Augmented Reality application for the iPhone 3GS. It connects mobile workers to the nearest and best places to work.

We’ve personally reviewed hundreds of places to work and offer personal observations, a guide to power provision, atmosphere, noise levels and even the quality of the coffee.

I’m not entirely sold on the idea as a replacement of “Nearest X” type apps that can be done without AR. I think they need to explain or show why having a camera view gives you more information to find a place to work from.
