Nokia 5800

Introduction

Over the persist year, a few “augmented truth browser” applications suffer continued cropping up, specially on the Android platform. While the thinking is not new (research on the ideally field of Augmented Reality dates returning to the ’90s), a large amount of the most recent devices are initiating to feature the required functionality in terms of hardware.

Unfortunately there is no talk about so far of any similar application* on Symbian smartphones, so the present expect aims to fill the gap by amidst a prototype tool featuring the use of sensors, camera and location established services.[*] Though we is able to ponder Nokia Research Center’s MARA suppose (2006) as the principally hard work to shoot the current functionality on a Nokia smartphone.

Implementation

The program overlays the image stream generated according to the camera amid markers of “Points of Interest” close to the user. It has kept on grown for the Nokia N97 and Nokia Navigator devices.

Making use of plugins offers third-party developers to customize the tool at unusual levels.

The whole scene is dictated by the position and orientation resolved by the sensors, that combined in on the information retrieved on the source compose the entire frame.
