I’ve never been quite convinced about the prudence of combining the spatial-awareness requirements of augmented-reality iPhone activities with benders — but if I were in NYC, this pretty cool use of AR might just have made me risk barfing all over my iPhone.
Metaio, the company behind augmented-reality app Junaio, has partnered with the iconic NYC nightlife rag TimeOut New York (TONY) to point users toward hot offers at bars throughout the city via a new “TONY Summer Drinking channel,” included in the 2.0 version of the free app. Of course, tips on where to find these deals is available via less hip methods — aka “the Internets” — but that’s so 2009.
Oh, and keep your eyes peeled next week for another surprise from Junaio.
