ARCity – AR Navigation – blippar.com

Description

Explore and navigate over 300 cities worldwide using augmented reality (AR). Follow the 3D directions to never get lost again and see the names of streets and buildings around you.

Select your destination, tilt your phone up and follow the path of arrows shown in augmented reality. Just tilt your phone back down at any point to revert to a standard map. Simple

When exploring your city or walking towards your destination you’ll see street names and building names as hotspots as you pass restaurants, museums and famous landmarks.

Soon you’ll be able to discover much more as we’re constantly adding interesting content. So watch this space.

For the best experience, use it on the streets not indoors. Go take a walk and start exploring!

This is just the beginning for AR City and we’d love to hear your feedback. Email us at makeusbetter@blippar.com for suggestions or bugs.

Finally a practical app that demonstrates the potentials of AR

There have been a lot of AR apps on App Store that try to demonstrate how AR can be used to make our life easier. But most of these apps are more gimmicks than practical tools to me — I personally am not too interested in AR games and I don’t use social networks much either, so I am not too excited about current AR applications until i saw this app.

Showing information on the screen at the right time and the right location is exactly how AR can help presenting information in a more easily understandable fashion. I have just tried this by walking around my neighbourhood, but I am already excited about how this would help me in a large and compel city.

There are still things that can be improved in this app IMO, especially UI/UX wise, but I love this idea and would very much love to see it developed into a sophisticated app.
