The difference is you use the application to explore London rather than explore a museum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Using the application, users are able to use augmented reality to explore their surroundings using the iPhone\u2019s camera view and seeing photos of their location as it was in the past. Imagining being at locations such as Carnaby Street and seeing it as it was in the 60s. It\u2019s an excellent idea for Londoners and tourists alike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The application is free, the only thing missing in my opinion is the ability for users to upload their own historical pictures of London. I\u2019m sure many people have many pictures sitting around in their album that they would want to share and contribute. Sharing would have made the application perfect.

The application drives you to different areas around London utilizing either the guide or GPS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can get the Museum of London \u2013 London Street Museum <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/museum-london-streetmuseum\/id369684330?mt=8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keeping with the London theme, there have been many books written about London. Some of them thrillers, some of the factual. If you live in London have you ever wondered if any have been based in your neighborhood?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>London Reading iPhone Application:<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Get London Reading is an augmented reality iPhone application that enables users to discover just what books were set nearby. Even in the drab neighborhood that I call home, I was surprised to find that there are a number of books set nearby.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When I first came across this application a few weeks back I didn\u2019t feel it warranted its own blog post, but having taken another look, if you like reading it throws up a lot of really interesting books that you can\u2019t help but add to your Amazon wish list. \u00a0 It\u2019s well worth installing and discovering just how famous your area is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Get London Reading is free and can be installed from <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/get-london-reading\/id362097401?mt=8\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are not based in London, or if you think you can do better.
