How about real-time explanation what plant you are looking at, what bird just flew by, what is interesting about the building next to you, etc?
Look at the web — against all odds, it has tons of content beside ads!
So, it'll tell me that it has a Zappos™, a Coke™ Vending machine, a Jamba Juice™, and a Wells Fargo™ ATM, with an average retailer Yelp™ score of 4.2?
As far as I know, Zappos has no physical locations.
They do.
And if they didn't, AR can also 'solve' that problem, by putting their virtual storefront in front of your eyeballs.
The Zappos™ storefront overlay is also AR
Those things are nice. but they are mostly built in collaboration with universities. Niantic took all my hard work, photographing places of historical or cultural significance(during ingress beta), and now use them to shovel people into stores.
