Augmented Reality app ‘brings back’ the Twin Towers

The Wikitude World Browser has been enhanced by 3D capabilities which lets you ‘view’ a virtual model of the Twin Towers from various locations in New York using an Android phone.

We’re not sure about this at all. It seems a bit, well, tasteless to our eyes (will they have ‘augmented reality planes’ flying across the sky too?).

Click on for the video and tell us what you think:

Wikitude Augmented Reality: WTC – Its not there but its there from Wikitude on Vimeo.

To be honest, we’ve got a bit of a major rant about this whole ‘augmented reality’ thing building up a head of steam, but we’ll leave that for now.

    Have to say, it looks a bit tacky to me too.
