位置情報系のスマートフォンアプリでは、以前から有名なTagwhat。その土地に関する歴史的な情報や情報をポップアップ表示し、様々な物語を見せてくれるようだ。
Much the way
Walkabout3d uses augmented reality to provide a glimpse into the future of new building developments, so Colorado-based
Tagwhat offers a look back into the past by revealing the stories associated with different geographical places.
Now available for
iPhone 3GS/4 and
Android, Tagwhat’s “Great Stories at Places” app aims to let users experience hidden stories everywhere they go. The company’s team of new media journalists and filmmakers have amassed thousands of original and curated stories told in words, images, video and audio, supplemented by publishing partners including the Associated Press, the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Virginia Beach Public Library system. Stories describe and enhance the places around the user, and are organized into channels focusing on topics such as music, food, nature and art. They pop up on top of real-life locations when users look through their phone’s camera, changing based on what they’re looking at.
