Tumblr kirtsy / Popular twitter’AR iPhoneApp with geo-tagging Twitter 360 is an iPhone app that lets you visually see the flow of tweets from locations nearby, layered on top of your natural “real” environment. Thanks to to the iPhone’s video camera and Twitter’s new Geotagging feature, you’ll see live Tweets pop up based on your current location. You’ll be able to see where the tweets are coming from as well as how far the person tweeting is. As with most of the augmented reality iPhone apps, you’ll need the built in compass which only comes with the iPhone 3GS. This isn’t the first stab at the Augmented Reality Twitter app but, as far as we are aware, this is the first app to use the feature with Twitter’s new geo-tagging feature. What else does it bring to the table? “Latest Tweets” mode. “Locate my Friends” mode.

Amsterdam-based Layar, one of the companies at pushing the boundaries of this growing movement, just released Layar 3.0, which offers a whole slew of new ways to layer data onto the real world as seen through your phone. The company opened up its augmented reality browser to developers last summer and more recently added 3D capabilities. One developer created a 3D architectural model of a building in Rotterdam so that visitors to the construction site can see how a superimposed version of it will look on their phones (see video below). Another one added cut-outs of the Beatles on Abbey Road and other places they sing about. Or you could just add Blimps and UFOs over buildings as sort of an augmented reality graffiti.
