Augmented Traffic Views - Android

Sneak Peak at Toronto's first Augmented Reality Application running on HTC Magic on Rogers (or any Android phone). See the Toronto/Ontario Traffic Cameras in a unique and exciting manner. Software supports an automated predictive tracking mode - see traffic cameras in the direction you are heading, well in advance, and real-time traffic maps.
Supports automated proximity Alerts (speed traps, red light cameras from your favourite POI source including PhantomAlert and Trapster).
Ability to load your own custom POIs for viewing in the Augmented Reality mode!
Several other "hidden" features including the ability to see real-estate listings where you in the Augmented Reality mode (Alpha feature).

"could be the coolest AR app we've seen" - this video has certainly wildly surpassed expectations.

In Toronto, support for location-based real-time construction alerts and on-demand 680 news are included making this the most complete Traffic application available on any mobile platform.

Note the UI in this video is quite a bit out of date and has been revised in the latest version.

Augmented Traffic Views has been submitted to ADC-2.

Available now and updated frequently with new features, cities and improvements - Search the Android Marketplace "Augmented Traffic Views" to download to your Android phone. Now supporting over 30+ cities across the US, UK and Canada and it is FREE!

A new feature in future versions will include a "simulated AR view" for Android devices WITHOUT digital compasses!

This is so cool my friend show me this when I get a HTC PHONE I'LL BE GETTING THAT APP. Also is their a App where to track down unknown numbers or callers you don't have?

I downloaded this some weeks ago and still keep it in my phone and I don't exactly know why. And I say this because I live in Europe. I just found a link on a site to this video and took a look at it as I never saw the app working, so I just wanted to stop by and say congratulations, as this looks like a hard work to create and mantain, and I see you update regularly, so hats off. I hope to be able to use it some day.
