subject: Augmented Reality Iphone-a Technology Changing The World Of Connectivity! [print this page] Rather than making do until the end of the contract, if your iPhone is broken, then in that case, the prospect of getting Augmented Reality may well be enough of a motive to get your phone fixed quickly. Meanwhile while your iPhone is broken and to try out when it comes back, it can be something exciting to think about.
Essentially it is anything that involves having digital information overlaid onto real-time, real-world input, for those who don't know what Augmented Reality means. So for example point at any element in the real world in a camera that you might have, this would show on your iPhone screen. In order to describe what you're seeing, with an Augmented Reality iPhone app then you might see this with added details written on the screen. Many people take this technology as a gimmick, but it becomes apparent why it's creating such excitement, when you think about all the possible applications of this.
For instance, you would be able to take your phone out when looking at something you don't understand and get instant information regarding what it is when using Augmented Reality app. For example, you have seen a car you like? Well it will tell you the make, model, price and more - maybe with a follow up link so you can buy your own when you simply take out your phone and point it at the vehicle. Already telling you precisely which shops and restaurants are there, there are iPhone apps that let you hold your iPhone up in a high street. Layar and Wikitude are included in these apps. As Google is for our navigation of the internet, they might well catch on and become as crucial for our navigation of the real world, and you won't be able to join in in this paradigm shift, if you have a broken iPhone and don't get your iPhone repairs.
Such as games that have you hunting for objects that appear to be in the real world - digital points on real world maps that when you point your phone at them look like monster that you can then shoot, there are other exciting uses for Augmented Reality meanwhile.
