"Terminator Vision" Is Here For the iPhone

musefrog writes "The BBC is reporting that so-called augmented reality has arrived — in the UK at least. From the article: 'Via the video function of a mobile phone's camera it is now possible to combine a regular pictorial view with added data from the internet just as the fictional Terminator was able to overlay its view of the world with vital information about its surroundings. For example, UK-firm Acrossair has launched an application for the iPhone which allows Londoners to find their nearest tube station using their iPhone.' The page features an impressive video demonstrating AR in action."

Overlay source code?

Does the Terminator vision for the iPhone also overlay Apple II assembly code [pagetable.com]?

Linux runs on blood... You must make a blood sacrifice... Slit your wrists and repeat after me...

All hail master Torvalds, I offer up my life blood to you O great and powerful Master. I, a humble troll, ask only that you find it in your dark heart to grant me the power! The power to scan one last fury fandom so as to complete my life's work.

Then wait 15 to 60 minutes for the source(tm) to recompile...

Important, do not call paramedic during this time or the compiler will fail and you will have to start over.

Don't worry if you die before the compiler finishes. Linux will simple restore you from the tarball file stored in /dev/null

And this, people, is why we don't put HUDs in cars.

Darkness404, you will be missed, after your untimely demise in a car accident. If only you hadn't been distracted by slashdot on your HUD, you might be here today with us...

I think the real question is - Are you so detached from humor that showing questionable material wouldn't be amusing to you?

P.S. "retarded" is offensive to call someone who really isn't a retard. Making fun of retards is pretty puerile. How dare you sir!

I am disappointed that nobody referenced to "Eden of the East"

Should've asked Juiz for an EotE first post!

Phew. Everybody who watched the movie knows that Terminator was an android, not an iPhone.
