The applications of this technology are really astounding and something that can really overwhelm you with information at times and also amaze you every so often. Today’s application is something that will amaze you for sure. Today’s application comes from the Museum of London who have decided that in order to experience the history of London, you really have to walk around and look at it, quite literally.

StreetMuseum makes creative use of Google Maps and geo-tagging to show users how London used to look. You can use it to check out pictures and info about nearby historic locations, which is has more of a straightforward walking tour feel. But the fun starts when you’re actually standing in front of a location in the database. That’s when the AR “3D view” kicks in, with views that may look something like these pictures:

For a free App, this is really awesome and would make your experience in London memorable. Next time you are traveling to London, don’t forget to take along a iPhone maybe borrow one until the app gets ported on Symbian or Android. Check out the app here : StreetMuseum [via Gizmodo]
