Augmented reality. If you’re not familiar with the phrase, get there. It’s a fairly new trend in games in which the computer generated graphics are laid on top of what you actually see around you. There are other more detailed and possibly more accurate definitions, but forget about them. What matters here is that augmented reality games are starting to surface on the iPhone, and we’re going to take a look at two of the first: Fairy Trails and Arcade Reality.

We first told you last year all about the UrbanSpoon iPhone app, which allows you to find a restaurant by shaking your phone. Now, the developers have upgraded the app to help you find a way to chow down by adding a new Scope feature. This feature is an augmented reality app, and is exclusive to the iPhone 3GS. All you have to do is aim your iPhone at the street to see what is out there to eat.
