Nowadays, modern mobile devices have become real personal computers that increase the ability of building/extending existing applications by combining several technologies such as camera, GPS, 3D graphics and permanent Internet connection. The resulting integration of such technologies allows to run complex applications, such as augmented reality and Social Networks. The goal of the present research is to support mobile users' daily activities, by developing advanced solutions which take into account principles of humancomputer interaction and usability. In this paper we propose to exploit the potential of the augmented reality and the ability to "communicate" of social networks to create a mobile social network, where each community user may exploit advanced location based services, such as navigation through a two dimensional map, exploration of an area through a camera mode, and identification of points of interest embedded in an augmented reality environment.
