Wikitude
editWikitude is a mobile application which uses the Augmented reality (AR) platform, a technique that overlays virtual vision and its information on the real world to enhance human visual perception. Current applications of Wikitude, such as Wikitude World Brower and Wikitude Drive, run on smart-phones.[1]
These applications can only be used for iPhone, Android, and Symbian software platforms[2] as travel guides and personal navigation devices. Future applications of Wikitude can be developed for military, city modeling, and shopping.
Wikitude World Browser
editWikitude World Browser application recognizes users' surroundings by image recognition through a mobile camera view. After this process, Wikitude World Browser calculates users' current positions by using the Global Positioning System (GPS), a compass, and an accelerometer and accesses the Wikitude data set (about 350,000 landmarks) to provide geographic information (e.g. longitude and latitude), history, and contact details of points of interest. Wikitude World Browser overlays the virtual 3-dimensional (3D) image and its information on real-time view.
Travel guide
editCurrently, Wikitude World Browser is used for a travel guide.[2]
[3] Users can get web-based information about points of interest, where to eat, description of buildings, and architectural images of historical places.
Wikitude Drive
editWikitude Drive is a navigating application using the AR technology. With the internet connection and GPS satellite reception, Wikitude Drive supports worldwide navigation system on real-time by accessing the Wikitude data set.
Military
editThe mobile augmented reality system (MARS) like Wikitude can be extended to military aviation and automobiles. Wikitude’s AR technology can be integrated into the windshield for pilots or drivers to provide geographic information of unknown or unfamiliar regions (e.g. altitude). In addition, Wikitude can update real-time information on weather and currents worldwide through internet access to prevent accidents.
City modeling
editBy using Wikitude 3D AR technology, Wikitude applications can be developed for city modeling, a proposal which simulates and constructs cities. 3D visualization over the real world can be used for improving urban transportation network, determining the locations of pipes for water supply and drainage, and reconstructing buildings.
Shopping
editWikitude’s online database can be used for shopping. Users can take an image of a product by use of a mobile camera. After the image recognition process, Wikitude can find the matched item within Wikitude database and show pricing information, shop locations, reviews, etc.
The activation limits
editWikitude applications are restricted by internet connectivity and indoor disability.
Since Wikitude World Browser is designed to collect information about users' surroundings through the Wikitude database, 3G (3rd Generation: international mobile communication standards) is necessary to run this application. In addition to the internet connectivity, GPS satellite reception is necessary for the Wikitude Drive to function as a navigation device.
The application limit
editWikitude applications run only on iPhone, Android, and Symbian software platforms.[2] The internet and GPS connectivity depend on the specifications of smart-phones (e.g. the internet connectivity of Wikitude applications in iPhone will be limited by 802.1X, Port Based Network Access Control,[5] Wi-Fi network).
