En estos días, han aparecido nuevas características en aplicaciones IPhone. La API para soporte de Realidad Aumentada aparecerá en la próxima versión del sistema operativo de IPhone. Pero ya hay aplicaciones que usan esas capacidades.
Una (posiblemente la primera) es la Paris Metro Subway app:

the new Yelp app includes an AR easter egg
Social review service 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.

Download the new Yelp app (came out yesterday). So you shake your iPhone 3 times. That activates a feature called Monocle. A message should come up if you activated it. A blue box will come up saying "the Monocle has been activated." It will create a button in the top right corner. Now you should be able to look at the bars, restaurants, etc. Only works on iPhone 3GS. –
Y ahora, Presslite (la misma compañía que hizo Paris Metro Subway) acaba de agregar Realidad Aumentada a su London Bus app:
