augmented reality- cyclopedia

cyclopedia is an augmented reality application that overlays information from wikipedia onto the viewfinder. the application uses the iphone camera, compass and GPS to situate the device and combines this with the wikipedia database. by moving your iphone around, wikipedia entries will begin to pop-up. these entries tell you about what you are looking at in reality and link to the full entries on wikipedia. the application also allows you to search wikipedia through google maps, pinpointing each entry as a physical location. there are currently 65,000 entries in wikipedia that have geotagged but any user can add an entry at anytime. via designboom
