AstRal

AstRal is an augmented reality social network that uncovers a world of discussion and information to your surroundings.

A user can place a virtual signpost (or 'focal'), write a message, and put it anywhere in the real world. Other users can then walk down any street, hold up their phone, and see these virtual signposts as part of their camera view - as if the signposts are actually in front of them.

This brings many new opportunities for discussion, information, reviewing, tourism, and much more. Users are able to comment on these signposts, and more importantly, any user can post anything within reason. From humorous comments regarding their surroundings, to formal reviews on cafe door steps, this app opens up a virtual social underworld to our streets.
