Relevant augmented reality key to user experience
Rise of AR in mobile In an e-mail interview, Bhavya Khanna, wireless research associate at ABI research, noted that more players, including major mobile phone manufacturers, are now jumping on the augmented reality bandwagon.
For example, Nokia is trialing and offering Point and Find as a Beta download, while Internet giant Google has also invested in AR through its Google Goggles project, she said. Khanna also predicted that there will be more AR applications coming later in the year.
The biggest reason? The Apple iPhone 4, which was launched in the United States in June 2010. Khanna explained that aside from the compass sensor, which can be found in other GPS-capable smartphones, the iPhone 4 includes a gyroscope sensor that enables the phone to find out whether it is pointing up, down or pitching in an axis. With the gyroscope sensor, AR applications will become more sophisticated, and combined with the phone's popularity, she noted that more developers will take advantage of AR.
