Just before the launching of the Lumia 920 and 820, Nokia released a teaser clip which hints at an augmented reality app for upcoming Windows Phone 8 devices. That app is called City Lens and is now available for download on WP7 devices as well.
Nokia City Lens just recently graduated from the beta labs and now gives Nokia WP users a very exciting way to discover nearby establishments. The app uses the phone’s camera viewfinder and “provides an augmented reality overlay view of buildings and instantly highlights places of interest.”
Check out the video below:

Windows Phone 8 devices will be receiving an updated version of the app that can fully utilize the phone’s unique features. For now you can download Nokia City Lens on your Nokia Lumia 900, Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 from the Windows Marketplace or via QR code by hitting the source link below.

Aww. No Lumia 610?
Anyone knows if City Lens is already applicable here in Manila?
Love the Lumia 920
Answering my own question, I went to Nokia store in Gateway last night and I informed that sales agent that City lens is already available. We tried it and it really works.

Imagine that (City Lens) incorporated in Google Glasses!

It’s likely that a similar feature will be available once Project Glass becomes publicly available.
