Of course, this will be great as well (for the passengers) in cars on long trips or for people visiting unfamiliar places (parks, cities, farmlands, etc). But holding up a little phone and trying to look through it leaves a lot to be desired.

Really cool app. It's really going to be amazing to walk around with a smartphone and/or AR glasses, and see relevant information pop up for certain objects/people of interest. Really cool future coming. I’ve tried iOnRoad, and it works remarkably well. Really cool app.
