PointOfView is now on sale in the Apple iTunes App Store. This App is a point-and-use rangefinder utility that combines elements of augmented reality, geo-location, and speech synthesis. The result is a speaking distance measurement tool that is continually updated as you move towards or away from your selected target destination.
You can download PointOfView for 99¢ by following this link to iTunes. [Note: this link will open iTunes on your desktop PC.]
I have just submitted my latest App to the Apple iTunes App Store for approval.
Made exclusively for iPhone (OS 3.1.x), PointOfView leverages your device’s onboard video camera against its extensive mapping capabilities—the result: immediate distance calculations that are generated as fast as you can touch the screen. Furthermore, PointOfView also provides you with the street address that is closest to your touch.
PointOfView layers distance, address information, location coordinates, and a map overlay on top of your iphone video display. The result is an augmented reality experience that will help you get from here to there.
Finally, adding just a little more reality to this augmentation, a speech synthesis function reads the distance measurement to you–continually updated as you travel towards/away from your selected destination.
PointOfView will be available from the App Store for $.99.
