Fishing for bats.

Quest Visual’s Word Lens iPhone app is staggeringly awesome. Until now, augmented reality was mostly a novelty, used for merely cool experiences, but without real utility. Apps like Yelp and Subway Finder, which are useful, don’t fully utilize the technology available. In those cases, again, it’s a matter of novelty, since a map and GPS will often work better than those applications. But Word Lens is revolutionary. If it works half as well as it does in this demo, I think it will change the way every person travels. And probably give kids another solid reason to skip Spanish class.
