Aditya, Now that I have looked up what "Augmented Reality" is, I am sure it would be possible to develop a GSoC proposal based on using OSM data to say annotate images. The challenge will be to think of something to do to turn into a project proposal. One thing that came to mind is that when I am on the top of a hill and looking across a view, I sometimes wonder what some feature or other is in the distance (e.g. mountain peak, lake village) - maybe it would be possible to use the GPS fix in a mobile phone and a direction measurement (either from GPS when you were moving, or better still an electronic compass) to identify what you should be able to see from here?
I haven't thought about how hard this is yet - you will need both OSM data and SRTM elevation data to work out what is visible. Regards Graham.
