Reminds me of that TBBT episode where Sheldon hacks the GPS: https://youtu.be/dCsYBacNfBw?si=CEjA-JgF9zHwL0tV&t=45

Very cool. When I was living in Paris I wanted to do something similar (but without the driving / directions part). I just liked walking randomly in the city and wished someone could tell me about all the interesting little bits of culture and history of the places I strolled past.

Could probably do it with ChatGPT. Take picture of building. Ask what it knows about it. Haven’t tried, but may work for some buildings. No GPS though.

I was thinking of a similar thing when the AirPods came out. When they were new it felt like a nice bridging of the real / virtual worlds when it announced walking directions directly into your ear, or reading arriving messages to you. I thought it would be a cool idea to have some kind of trivia, facts being read to you while you move around. Kinda like AR but more audio-based.

there are some custom content versions, such as Autio, but our thought was to take advantage of all the free podcast episodes (the podcasters love it because it's another form of discovery and their audio plays exactly the same).

What is this? It made me listening to a random Minnesota radio station where people talk about ghosts.

oops, sorry. If you know what it was supposed to be please let us know.

GuideAlong is an app that sort of does this. But it only works on its given routes - not generically everywhere. It's not amazing, but the content is pretty fairly priced.

This is pretty much exactly how I've attempted to make Summer AI app work. If I am missing anything from your vision please let me know!
