Take a look at Alpine's app on the video to discover the full
potential of Augmented Reality on mobile phones.
What is Augmented Reality?
Looking through the video camera of a mobile phone, Augmented
Reality (AR) can not only tell you what you are looking at by
showing a text box superimposed upon the view, but offers a way of
accessing much more information about that location. Press the text
box on your touch screen and you can be taken straight to a
contacts page including direct links to phone and email, a website,
or even a video of what goes on inside the building. AR is the way
of accessing this further information immediately, all through the
mobile phone.
How it works?
Your phone's GPS positioning means it knows exactly where you
are - and the phone's internal compass means that it knows which
way you are facing. By "geotagging" relevant buildings and
locations the phone can therefore work what you are looking at and
then can display a box with information and links about that
location. As you move around with the phone, the boxes are locked
to their relevant location, and new boxes may pop up for new
locations that come into view.
What we can do for you?
We can provide your own branded application which people
download to their phone. This allows you to decide what text and
images people see when they look through their mobile phone and how
it appears. We can also provide all the tools to allow you to show
further information and links and can update update all the
information for you. The view can be branded with your logo, which
can also be a live link to your website.
How does it work for you?
You will have a password protected website created by us which
will allow you to "geotagg" relevant locations and then decide what
you want to say about those locations and what links you want to
include with those locations. The links can include:
Further text and information
Photographs
Videos
Websites
Contacts - email and phone
Directions to another location
Show position on map
We can also work with you to decide what these links should be,
and create the whole site for you - and leave you with the ability
to edit your information.
