Wikitude AR Travel Guide (Part 1)

[jstienmetz]

I think AR is going to change the future of tourism. It puts so much information into the hands of travelers. Check a recent discussion about how AR and Tourism and interconnected at Mobile Destinations - a new blog about mobile technology and tourism marketing.

[vishal2012]

unbelievable technology

[Muscleduck]

I'm so downloading this!

Android ... а на Windows Mobile? :(

[nuxxdk]

Please, do render the caption text in a static position - perhaps  only moving horizontally, and smoothly... and let the title/dot be the only items that are jittering around - if you maintain the "speech bubble" link, making it flexible, adapting to the relative positions of text box and dot - its semantics are retained yet the text suddenly appears readable ;)

[TheSexyKnight]

What about symbian?

[darren]

LMAO

[jigglesnap]

It should update the image at the same time that it updates the text, so there's no shifty lag between the two. A small image lag is not a big deal, but with the image and text updating out of sync it's bad.

Check out Layar!!!

[fashnek]

Check out Layar too for Android and iPhone 3G S.

[tiorojo]

Does that phone have a compass? how does it get the orientation data?

[c3lticmatt]

i believe the phone has GPS.

[injectx]

yes, gps and compass too

[cyprexx]

its the compass that arranges the proper tracking of the building and the GPS for the position.

brilliant!

[IakonaWayne]

Yes, it has a compass, GPS, accelerometer, and captures video for a relatively long time... at a time when the iphone had none of these features, except the accelerometer.

[shonzilla]

Nice stuff!

Philipp, have you received the device as ADC round 1 winner? :-)

How does Wikitude AR Travel Guide compare to Enkin?

[joos2322]

Hi, Yes I have a device.

The idea and AR concept is similar, however I don't know Enkin in detail. It is not yet available in the Android Market. However one must say that the concept of AR is already around for a few years, its just that devices that can do AR were not available before Android/G1.

[joos2322]

yup

[twdarkflame]

Excelent Stuff. This looks like it could become a saleing point of Andriod phones in general.

Perhapes one extension could be to allow custom map locations overlaid from a GoogleMap's "MyMaps" feature....thus allowing people to create their own landscape referances.

[joos2322]

Yes. It reloads content every 3 miles. However, the cam view does not work well in the car because of various magnetic interferences. regards,

[PoslovniHr]

Can you move (drive) and get the info on the fly?

[dreamcastdc]

Awesome Android app, going to download this right away when I get my G1.

[joos2322]

yes it is. Greetings, Ph

[mikerowe01]

Very Cool.. Is this the same demo that was shown as part of the Android Apps contest, finished??

[I3lfrg]

Wow, that is completely amazing! Great job!
