If you like your iPhone and love to Twitter look at this

This is a video of the first beta version of TwittARound – an augmented reality Twitter viewer on the iPhone 3GS created by michael zoellner and this and more can be found on his blog as well.. It shows live tweets around your location on the horizon. Because of video see-through effect you see where the tweet comes from and how far it is away.



The whole application is developed in Webkit (UIWebView / Safari Mobile). A native Cocoa wrapper delegates location, compass and accelerometer to Javascript in the UIWebView. The 3D scene is based on Safari Mobiles brilliant 3D CSS transforms. The Ajax part is done with jQuery. After writing some native iPhone apps this Webkit approach seems to be ideal for rapid development of applications independent of the iPhone UI.
