I could totally see myself loading up my tablet PC with a whole bunch of digital content like this before I got on a plane.

There’s augmented reality by TAT, which does facial recognition to assign clickable metadata to a face (currently the metadata consists of different social media accounts).

Then there’s Layar, an application that can do “building recognition” (likely based on your location and the direction your phone is pointed instead of the actual picture of the building).  This is available for the Android OS, which is in use on phones such as the HTC Magic and the T-Mobile G1.  This is likely the same technology that we’re seeing in the new London Subway application (called “Nearest Tube” by acrossair) and the “stalk your children app” for the iPhone (below).

And of course, the holograms on business cards that I posted a couple days ago:
