Because good things doesn’t necessary have to cost money

Yelp’s portal is offering a FREE AR app to retrieve information layers on your iPhone 3Gs (US only). Layar, Android’s AR browser is also about to release their application for iPhone.

If you are interested to know who was the first one at the AppStore, they were Mètro Paris and London Bus (you have to pay for them).

Co-founder Antoine Morcos:

Basically, with this application, you are able to see all the metro and bus stations around you (<1km), and also a lot of Points of Interest (Restaurants, etc.) via Augmented Reality, thanks to the camera.

This Yelp-AR-surprise tells us that Augmented Reality Mobile Browsers show is just beginning!

Anyone knows Google’s plans? Are they just sitting there watching the wheels go round and round?

Here you can see Yelp’s AR Browser in motion:
