Yelp has snuck the first Augmented Reality (AR) iPhone App specifically for the US into the iTunes App Store. The undisclosed new feature allows iPhone 3Gs owners to shake their phones three times to turn on a view called " the monocle". This view uses the phone's GPS and compass to display markers for restaurants, bars, and other nearby businesses on top of the camera's view.
Shortly after this Easter Egg find hit the blogs and interwebs, Paris Metro and London Bus AR apps were immediately available allowing users to find subway stops, bus stops, etc.
hello SF, where's yours??? ding ding, lets make one!
