  I swear I had an app installed on my iPhone 3G (I guess 2008/2009) that did something similar. Was it Sam Altman's Loopt that had a 3D view that used geomarkers and displayed them as you rotated the phone with the camera view leaking through it? I believe it was L*something.

    Not sure about Loopt, but Yelp did it in 2009.

    I believe you're thinking about Layar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b64_16K2e08 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b64_16K2e08

  I've had it on my Nokia phone and it worked horribly. It's really hard to understand what is where in a jumbled mess of pins and there was no visual difference between a pin that represents an object 10 meters from you and the one that is 1 mm away from you. The second part of the OP tweet is where the real magic happens: https://twitter.com/AndrewProjDent/status/888380207962443777 https://twitter.com/AndrewProjDent/status/888380207962443777

  It's quite unrelated tech wise. This seems to be a simple inverse polar projection to map location around you based on your compass. It doesn't see anything, it's just a different skin for maps overlayed on the camera stream.
