New applications use G1’s GPS and camera together

A growing number of companies have started creating applications that use the G1’s hardware as well as software to perform operations. For instance, a company Wikitude has created an application that uses Wikipedia and the phone’s camera to embed information on live camera footage. Once it determines where you are, the application will superimpose information from Wkipedia on the screen when it has sites of interest within the cameras sight. Another application “nru” read: near you. Let you launch a compass style map that determines your location, and then places of interest that might be around you at the time. Do any of you have a G1? What’s your favorite application to sue with the device? [via Wired]
