What’s Your Favorite Augmented Reality App? [Source: Mashable.com]

What’s Your Favorite Augmented Reality App? [LUNCHTIME POLL]: "

poll-imageIt’s Friday, which means it’s a special time here at Mashable: time for the Lunchtime Poll!

The way it works is simple. We’ll throw out a poll question, start off with some responses from the staff here at Mashable, and let you fine folks have at it in the comments. We want to get a sense of Mashable readers’ answers to the topic of the week — simply leave your answer in the comments, and preferably tell us why you chose it. Then tune in next Friday for a recap of the results.

Ready? Let’s roll the question:

What’s your favorite augmented reality app?

Leave your vote in the comments!


Mashable Faves


Brenna Ehrlich: If I had an iPhone, I would probably like Nearest Subway. Finding public transport is a pain, and I always get lost.

Matt Silverman: Gotta go with Layar for Android. Useful and fun!

Christina Warren: Yelp and Loopt Mix.

Barb Dybwad: It’s a toss-up between Layar and Urbanspoon. The former has a growing database of all types of data, which is super useful, but I also love how well Urbanspoon represents restaurant information in a single overlay interface.

Samuel Axon: Living in a pedestrian metropolis like Chicago, I think Nearest Chicago Transit is the most useful. And Le Bar could help find a place to kick back and warm up with a few drinks after wandering the streets in the bitter cold.

Ben Parr: I have no favorite, because the problem is most phones still don’t support Augmented Reality. I like the possibilities Layar provides, though.
