MUNICH, GERMANY & SAN FRANCISCO, USA: The world leader in augmented reality software (AR) and solutions, Metaio, released the newest version of its free Junaio AR browser for Android and iOS devices with an updated user interface that features an all-new visualization of nearby points-of-interest (POIs). With Junaio it is now possible to access GPS and location-based information from almost anywhere in the world.
"The more natural we make AR, the more mobile users will see value and return to the experience," CTO Metaio, Peter Meier said. "It's clear that the next step for mobile AR is location-based information in devices like Google Glass, and we're looking to the near future in our R & D."
Junaio has been optimized and available for wearable devices like Glass since Metaio's InsideAR conference in October of 2013, but as of today it's equipped with an even friendlier interface and a more contemporary style familiar to today's app users.
The brand new visualization scheme ensures that the user sees only the most relevant information to his or her surroundings, like geo-tagged Instagram photos or tweets; the best places to catch a Taxi; the nearest entertainment locations like movie theatres or concerts; or even the real-time positioning of public buses and trains.
