Augmented Reality On Android – DailyMobile.se
Jun 28th, 2010 | permalink: Augmented Reality On Android – DailyMobile.se | Category: Videodailymobile.se – Mobilizy GmbH reveals a preview of it’s augmented reality navigation system, the first fully functional mobile AR navigation system available for the Android platform. Wikitude Drive was developed by the Mobilizy Research & Development group in Salzburg, Austria, to satisfy the curiosity of the developers to see if it was feasible to combine real-time navigation with mobile augmented reality. The result of this quest is Wikitude Drive, a fully-functional, light weight navigational system which overlays point-to-point directions on a camera-view, without the need for maps.
Why would you even want to use if you have an ordinary gps?
great idea though the arrow system seams a little confusing. especially on straight roads.
Indeed:
I would ask everyone to engage and answer “pettson3816 ” rather that demote or condemn his/her comments. Why WOULD someone want this technology, in a moving car, seeking a single location with due intent on arriving, as opposed to a well made GPS unit?
What are the cost and coverage/cost factors?
Is “augmented reality” just extraordinary corporate advertising? Meddling? Helpful guidance extraordinaire?
Because some people just aren’t good with maps. This MAR application does not seem to show information (directions) based on recognising shapes on the screen but rather it seems to show information based on GPS location and direction.
just voted for this on ADC2, wish the developers the best of luck
android is absolutley fantastic!
Consider that most GPS uses bulit in maps – with no updating capabilities. Or if you using online maps – you sholud use a 3G connection.
But with augmented reality you dont need maps!!!
Just directions – witch is much less data. And you can get these updated directions from a server, not just offline.
layer is the best
that looks illegal holding the camera like that
@damjampad9 Why? Is it illegal to hold a camera-looking device on the road?
@dofty i dont know if its illegal to hold a phone and drive but it can just be placed on a holder like gps units. cool vid btw.
