Wikitude Drive – AR Navigation System
August 28th, 2009
Mobilizy GmbH reveals a preview of it’s augmented reality navigation system, the first fully functional mobile AR navigation system available for the Android platform. Wikitude Drive was developed by the Mobilizy Research & Development group in Salzburg, Austria, to satisfy the curiosity of the developers to see if it was feasible to combine real-time navigation with mobile augmented reality. The result of this quest is Wikitude Drive, a fully-functional, light weight navigational system which overlays point-to-point directions on a camera-view, without the need for maps.
Wikitude Drive boasts the following features:
- Mobile AR navigation, similar to a heads up display (HUD);
- Fully functional, map-less navigation;
- POI 2 POI navigation;
- Integrated voice commands (additional text-to-speech engine required);
- World wide navigational data which is accessed in real-time from the internet;
o (a mobile internet connection is necessary to access data while in motion) - Peer-to-peer navigational functions
o Social navigational features will be implemented in future releases - Interfaces with existing navigational APIs (for example: NavTeq, Map24, TeleAtlas)
- Launching for Android and iPhone soon.

[...] Aside from the AR feature, the app is a little bare, it requiring a data connection at all times, supporting voice commands only via a separate voice engine, lacking most of Wikitude’s other over features, though informational overlays probably aren’t too wise on a turn-by-turn HUD. Mobilzy says it’s coming “soon,” hopefully alongside a partnership with one of the big map data suppliers, so we can actually use this thing. [Mobilzy] [...]
