Mobile Behavior: an Omnicom Group Company

RealSki is an iPhone app that brings augmented reality navigation to the ski slopes. Users can now find their way around trails and locate on-mountain features like lifts and car parking at select North American ski resorts.

Of the many augmented reality apps we've come across, this is one that presents actual utility. It is doubtful that "Patrol Chute" or "Spaulding Ridge" is found on Google Maps, unlike most of the bars Stella's AR app will pull up. As augmented reality receives major hype in 2010, we hope to see more apps like RealSki that present value and aren't just a gimmick.
