That's right, now anyone can essentially be a mechanic with an augmented reality app from Inglobe Technologies - if it ever hits the market.

How does it work? Well, essentially the app provides a map of your engine bay once you hold your iPhone/iPad over said engine. Pointing out where your oil, timing belt, coolant, etc. is located. While we're not sure this app will show you how to disassemble and reassemble your entire engine, we're fairly certain it could make roadside stops for fluid fill-ups that much easier.

This app certainly won't replace a trip to the garage for a tune-up, but consider the possibilities if this actually hits the market.
