This paper explores the design space of Smart Horizons -- mobile applications offering to look at virtual representations of the user's visible surroundings. We conducted an outdoor field study with a fully implemented spatially aware restaurant finder service, in which participants accessed points of interest (POI) virtually attached to nearby buildings. The overall finding was that all orientation-aware visualizations of the nearby environment were highly preferable to a conventional orientation-agnostic presentation. Based on the participants' comparative judgments after using the system prototype, first design recommendations along the dimensions of perspective, field of view and realism are provided. Further research directions are proposed.
