Wikitude AR Travel Guide (Part 1)

This video demonstrates the augmented reality camera view of Wikitude AR on a G1 phone from a beautiful viewpoint looking down on Salzburg.

Wikitude is a mobile travel guide based on Wikipedia and Panoramio. Search landmarks in your surroundings and view them on a map, list, and on an Augmented Reality (AR) camera view: What you see is an annotated landscape, mountain names, landmark descriptions, and interesting stories.

The device displayed is a G1 Google phone, running Android.

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.

yup

[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,

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.
