Mobilizy Unveils AR Navigation System
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.
Mobilizy is a mobile software development company which focuses on augmented reality and location based services solutions. Our primary product is the Wikitude World Browser, but we are entering the field of navigation because Mobilizy believes that navigation is part of a natural evolutionary process within the field of mobile AR to help people get around in the world.
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; (a mobile internet connection is necessary to access data while in motion)
* Peer-to-peer navigational functions
( Social navigational features will be implemented in future releases)
* Interfaces with existing navigational APIs (for example: NavTeq, Map24, TeleAtlas)
According to Philipp Breuss-Schneeweis, CEO of Mobilizy GmbH, “our navigation system has a huge potential for location based advertisement, but we believe that the number one use case for Wikitude Drive is simply navigation.” With the announcement of Wikitude Drive, “Mobilizy is aiming to gain a competitive advantage through developing high-quality, innovative software solutions,” says Philipp Breuss-Schneeweis. He goes on to also say that: “Wikitude Drive is part of a natural evolution in mobile augmented reality. I believe there is much more to AR then simply planting colored POIs on a cam-view, people want to know how to get to these POIs and Wikitude Drive shows the way.”
Mobilizy is investigating integration capabilities with mobile social-networks. We are also seeking partnerships with innovative companies in the navigation industry to implement further develop our AR navigation system.
