Monocle

Monocle is a feature within the Yelp app that utilizes augmented reality (AR) to enhance user interaction with their surroundings. By accessing the Monocle feature, users can point their camera at nearby locations to view virtual overlays of businesses and services. This AR capability allows users to see relevant information about nearby establishments, such as restaurants, bars, or places visited by friends. Monocle acts as a digital compass, helping users navigate and discover local attractions more effectively.

The feature is designed to provide users with a more immersive and interactive way to explore their environment. By leveraging location-based AR technology, Monocle offers a unique perspective on the physical world, making it easier for users to find and engage with local businesses and points of interest. This integration of digital information into the real-world view enhances the overall user experience, making it a valuable tool for those looking to explore new areas or discover hidden gems in familiar neighborhoods.
