IBM launches Android application for Wimbledon

IBM introduced a pair of new mobile applications in support of Wimbledon 2009. According to IBM, this new Seer Android augmented reality application features location-aware visualization technology developed for the T-Mobile G1, promising real-time guide and interactive map services for this year's tournament as well as up-to-the-second scores.
The Android app takes a live video feed from the handset's camera, and superimposes content and data associated with various points of interest into the video stream--the G1's digital compass and GPS capabilities pinpoint what the user is looking at, bolstered by additional live data and reports from across the grounds of the All England Lawn Tennis Club.
