The launch of a smart phone delivered travel guide has the potential to wipe paper guidebooks off the face of the planet, The Times reports.
With Wikitude, travellers can be informed of their current location by simply capturing an image of their surrounds using their smart phone.
A full Wikipedia entry on the location can also be accessed using the service.
Currently available for phones that run Google's Android operating system, Wikitude uses GPS and mobile phone towers to determine a user's location.
