A few weeks ago I posted about how Google’s recent Android phone-as-compass demos, paired with the addition of geo-located wikipedia entries to Google Maps would usher in the era of consumer-grade augmented reality. This morning I came across this video by a company called Enkin doing just that. This is their mission:
“Enkin” introduces a new handheld navigation concept. It displays location-based content in a unique way that bridges the gap between reality and classic map-like representations. It combines GPS, orientation sensors, 3D graphics, live video, several web services and a novel user interface into an intuitive and light navigation system for mobile devices.
And here’s a video showing what they’re up to:
Very exciting.
