acrossair, the makers of the TVGuide.co.uk iPhone app bring you Nearest Tube one of the first augmented reality apps to go live in the iPhone AppStore. Forget boring 2D tube maps! Try this amazing new application that tells New Yorkers where their nearest subway station is via their iPhones video function.

When you load the app, holding it flat, all lines of the New York subway are displayed in coloured arrows. By tilting the phone upwards, you will see the nearest stations: what direction they are in relation to your location, how many miles away they are and what lines they are on. If you continue to tilt the phone upwards, you will see stations further away, as stacked icons. Only available to Apple iPhone 3GS users.

  • this is cool but i want to see a big colored line plotted on the ground showing me exactly where to walk, each color representing a different station. This way you the app shows you the way, augmented style.

  • nice app....but waving the IPhone around in NYC streets for muggers to see... not even worth it....

  • This is the absolute single greatest invention in the history of mankind... Too bad I have a Blackberry. Any chance this will get ported into other OS such as Android and Blackberry?

  • @FlareOfDawn Oh! That's excellent then. Thanks for the 411. ^_^

  • @FlareOfDawn You forgot to include the cost of the loaded apps as well but yes... muggers and lost & found will be very happy.

  • is this real it doeanst feel it

  • now even the people who rob your phone will love it

  • @iTunesGod293

    Yep, The iPhone 4g features a component that appeared to be a secondary mic for noise cancellation

    The majority of ppl viewing this vid don't have the cash to purchase the iPhone 4g, since it will be $497

    Lucky for you I found out on the Apple FB Fan Page Friday they are giving away a ton of iphone 4gs. If your lazy, heres the link to their contest page ... just copy and paste
