Augmented Reality (AR) is one of the biggest buzzwords of today as we move towards what was previously only in the dreams of science fiction novels and movies. Augmented Reality is the technology which enhances our view of the world with useful information about what we see, similar to how a HUD works in military aircraft and in FPS video games.

As we move into a world where social media is king we are inching closer to a change in paradigm where no longer will we need to say where we are, but our browsers will be able to tell a web application where we are (if we let it) and we can then be served content based upon this. With the iPhone OS 3.0 update it will be possible for the Safari browser to access the longitude and latitude information provided by the phone's built in GPS, in a web browser using JavaScript.
