Without compass, with just accelerometers and a camera it would be quite a feat.
Still, I would get ready for an online virtual world that you interact with from the real world on a mobile device much like this Star Droid with Google sky.

Can you imagine standing in a field @ Gettysburg or Waterloo, pointing your device at a farmhouse and them having an overlay come up on your browser with relavant facts and additional sites linked to it?

Can you also imagine millions of tourists, by using such an app, giving Google permision to send relevant adds to their device based on their reported location like "and right arround the corner is La Pate Et Ose"?
