The best thing about this is how simple it probably is underneath, and how awesome it looks anyways.
Current user location and database of subway station locations. It's a small enough list that you just rip through all of them and sort by distance. Project badges onto a sphere/flat on a circle depending on the tilt of the phone. Orient on compass location. Overlay display on video feed. Done.
There's no fancy image processing going on, no actual pathfinding, just a nice combination of the new 3GS apis and publically-available data. Good show.

If you need a picture, you make the API call, Apple's own UI takes over, and you get a file in return. To get the "live overlay" you need to hook into undocumented API. Considering how long we've been asking Apple for precisely this feature, I doubt it's going to happen.
