Wonder how this got through the Apple Gestapo.. but anyway, the Yelp app has implemented augmented reality on the iPhone.  If you are not familiar with "augmented reality" it's basically placing virtual objects on a screen in the real world, kind of like a heads up display (HUD).  Another example would be the view the Terminator sees from his point of view or say Robocop!  Friggin' sweet eh?  Many people are confused as to how and why this was approved as the API in the current SDK for iPhone 3.0.1 is not public and isn't going to be made public till 3.1 which is to be released sometime later this year.  Either way it's available and certainly cool.  Check it out over on [iTunes]

About Us

World-Gaming Network is a gaming website for gamers by gamers. With a no nonsense approach to news, reviews and previews, from people who will tell you like it is, as your friend. There are many sites that will give you news/reviews/previews but none that will give them to you like one of your friends. Founded over 9 years ago by two gamers that were born with a controller in their hand, we have come to realize that there are no gaming websites that take this approach. We give you the World-Gaming Network, your friend in the business.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
