Augmented Reality Customer Loyalty App
Why?
For the customer, it’s a fun way to get better service, deals, and other benefits. For the retailer, it’s a wealth of new information they can use in their sales funnels.
How?
An augmented reality app. The customer points it at different items in the store and immediately gets extra information about it: reviews of other shoppers, how many “loyalty points” will he get for buying it, is there a special deal on it only for loyal customers (or only for him based on his profile), what are similar items that he might be interested in, etc. This is very similar to shopping online in that the customer is constantly giving the retailer feedback by every action they take, every item the seem interested in. It brings the benefits of online shopping to both the customer and retailer.

World Wide Web of Interesting Historical Facts and Stories Using Augmented Reality
Why?
If you walk almost anywhere, you will see plaques celebrating and informing you of interesting people and facts regarding many places (buildings, parks, etc.) There are much more of these than you see on these plaques and many a place where there is no plaque even though it has an interesting history.
How?
An augmented reality app that when pointed at such a place gives you a list of all the interesting things that happened. Famous people who lived there, historical events, etc. You just point it at a building or even a few buildings, or a whole park, and see the list pops up on the screen beside the place you point at. You can them click on any of these to get many more details and the story.
