Sekai Camera: Tagging the Real World!
Sekai Camera is a social, Augmented Reality (AR) application and service for browsing and sharing user-generated text, photo, voice, and other location-linked information. Launched September 2009 in Japan, Sekai Camera was named the Best App in 2009 by Apple Japan.
Sekai Camera provides a completely new interface for connecting the real world to the web. The application features AR and location-based services that allow users to have fun through interaction with digital Post-its® in the real world. By simply holding your iPhone up and looking through the camera view, you can access information that are relevant to that place and time, shown as an overlay on the live camera view.
Sekai Camera has two different modes which users can go back and forth from:
LANDSCAPE: Sekai Camera Mode (Augmented Reality Live View)
PORTRAIT: Sekai Life Mode (Life-stream View)
Leave your footprint.
Enhance your world.
Create and communicate in a New Dimension.
Take Sekai Camera with you wherever you go - a new experience awaits you!
Look up, not down!

Uhh hello?
No one is on...ever
Excellent!
This app is made extremely well. Too bad there aren't many people in my area, though. Oh, and the map doesn't work, either.
Could be better
Crashes a lot, but the interface is good. Doesn't seem to find anything though, no search so not very practical
