Hikers often struggle to identify peaks around them. An AR app could overlay peak names, elevations, and distances on their camera view.

The app would use GPS and image recognition to match peaks with a database of mountains. Could include trail info and weather forecasts.

Outdoor enthusiasts would pay for accurate, offline-ready peak identification. Subscription for premium features like 3D maps.

Start with basic peak ID in one region. Expand coverage and features based on user feedback.

Risk: Competing with established apps like PeakFinder.
