iPhone Hacks has a really cool article about Sekai Camera - an app made by a Japanese company.
Here's a YouTube sample of the app:

Cool huh? Well, the iPhone Hacks article says it really doesn't use much information from the camera but more from GPS/cell towers.
Would you buy it for a premium price of $9.99?
I suppose the usefulness of this app would depend on how many people in your area actually post reviews and things like that.

How is that even possible? I know you could do it by using the gps, but actually using the camera to get info about that place/item...thats insane! If they could really do that (and get enough info) I would definitely buy that!

If GPS is only accurate at 25 or so meters, I don't see how this is possible to get information from a restaurant menu.

I'm going to guess that we will not be able to purchase this for quite some time.

that looks like its years away
even if it does come out as an app, a lot of the stuff they show in the video probably wont be possible

I made a java game, tell me what you think.
it uses GPS with a combination of a variation of facial recognition essentially so it recognizes the part of a picture or a symbol and says thats the restaurant for example uploaded to the server and it compares that with what the restaurant put on the server information wise, its pretty crazy technology that i cant even imagine the complexity of how many systems it has to interface with and analyze to work.
i agree that its awesome, but there's no way that photo recognition techniques are that good, and what someone else pointed out about gps location variances is true
uShow? Hmm...
