Applications like this, Layer, Wikitude etc. Arnt just adding a nice visual touch by using AR.
For people (like myself) with a horrible sense of direction, having the location overlaid is probably the quickest and most intuitive way to work out where I should go.
Its not a major use of AR, but I do think it adds to the functionality of the application.

That isn’t to say that there isn’t genuine value in alternative presentation Augmented Reality applications offer as I truly believe there is. Maybe it goes a little bit beyond rounded corners to something that gives us some additional context to that same core information (maybe something like when we first started getting isometric games for instance – we were essentially still operating in the same 2D game space but we felt like there was an additional dimension).
