TalkiPhone reports: This new technology on the horizon summed up in one word is so freaking incredibly awesome! Ok so that's four words but hopefully my point was taken. Augmented reality software overlays useful information onto the real world in real time. It takes full advantage of the new compass and other features packed in the iPhone 3GS and will be fully supported with OS v3.1. iPhone developers are thinking of ways to implement this technology into future apps but a concept of Augmented ID (video below) shows it in full action. The idea behind the software uses facial recognition to identify people and then display links to their online profiles such as facebook, twitter, contact information, etc. The latest rumors indicate the OS 3.1 software upgrade is scheduled for a September release date.

This story sucks? This story rocks!
