N. American Subway, Light Rail Augmented Reality App Ready & Waiting for iPhone 3.1

2009-09-01T00:08:20Z

Discover Anywhere Mobile, a Toronto-based mobile travel guide publishing startup, announced today that it has completed an iPhone app with Augmented Reality (AR) views of subway, light rail, train and airport data for 33 cities throughout North America. That app will be made available as soon as the next version of the iPhone Operating System is launched to the public.

Discover Anywhere's implementation of AR looks well-suited to the needs of users, but we asked company President David Janes why users would need an AR view at all. Why wouldn't a list of nearby transit stops and a map be enough. Janes offered an interesting explanation of Augmented Reality's value.

]]> The AR view in Discover Anywhere's app is just one of three, map and list views are also available for all data sets.

"In my mind, AR is a feature rather than a product," Janes told us. "It's something that we think would be useful for our customers. For example, I was in Atlanta a few weeks ago and walked out of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) downtown. Even knowing that the MARTA existed would have been useful then - but when we got out it would be great to be able to orient yourself toward landmarks. It's the 'oh yeah, there it is' experience."

That makes sense. The integration of an Augmented Reality view with more traditional lists and maps seems likely to make orienting yourself all the easier.

IPhone 3Gs owners will be able to make up their own minds on the finer points of Augmented Reality User Experience as soon as the next, AR supporting, OS is rolled out. We had expected that to occur as early as next month, but now it's looking like the wait may be a little bit longer.

You wouldn’t spend time developing custom software solutions where you could use something off-the-shelf or .

I was sitting in the O.R. lounge yesterday afternoon between cases, the television in the lounge was tuned to CNN. One thing I noted was some rather fawning coverage of President Bush regarding the military that seemed as though it belonged on FOX News rather than CNN. Not long after that, Wolf Blitzer breathlessly

I have found that hourly bids for projects show the client how many hours ne cell line was not as correct as his m I am estimating and how much they might spend.

work was wrong. That happened to a colleague of mine.

Long story short, everybody assumed that, due to a particular paper, that translation followed a certain pattern of initiation throughout the cell cycle. By stopping the cell cycle at different points, then checking the translation profile, he found something different. He asked a friend to double check his work, and it turned out that he was correct, and the previous work, which relied on only one cell line was not as correct as his m

The UX id definitely what I'd be concerned about. I played with the AR featured in the Yelp app. It was cool but I don't know if it'd be useful. I'd much rather stick with the list view.

Heh... I can just see folks walking down the streets of a major city holding up their iPhones in-front of them trying to find stuff and looking pretty silly.

Sooo what exactly is augmented reality? It sounds very cool and can't wait for it to come to an iPhone near me.
