Sky View

This is a great example of the use of augmented reality. I've long been interested in stars but have never been able to make the transition from printed page to what's up in the sky. But this app allows you to point your iPhone or iPad up, straight up, at the sky and see what's there. "When I point my phone camera at the night sky this app displays the heavens, as if through a window, overlaid with the specks of stars, at appropriately varying brightness."
