yeah I really want Lokenote to be realtime, but hit the practicality of shipping.. so its 'hit refresh' initially :[

My intuition is that 'Layers/Layars' are a good abstraction for developers.. but I think maybe simple tag / search might be a better way to filter those things I want to be notified about as I walk around?

AR is cool, but I wonder if this coolness actually gets in the way.

Id like to set some interest filters and then walk around and get push notifications on my mobile home screen. Eg: set 'tell me about' = 'clothing discounts', 'art deco buildings', '2nd hand record shops' and 'friends with status Im-up-for-a-coffee'.

I think we need to take that step so that the technology kind of disappears into the background - location isn't there yet.

I dont think it needs a HUD VR helmet to work - just look at how crappy and successful the keyboard is.. so, yeah, simple short text notifications as you walk around would really make this meld into the daily routine.

great idea, thanks. its a bit of work, but doable.
