  • Enkin – Combining Reallity and LBS

    0

    Two students from Germany have worked on a project called Enkin. The have written this locational service on Google Andriod. Enkin allows to navigate in three differend modes:

    • Classic Map
    • 3D View
    • Reality

    Until now the hardware is a little bit cumbersomely but I hope this will change after the first real Android mobiles are on the market.

    “Enkin” introduces a new handheld navigation concept. It displays location-based content in a unique way that bridges the gap between reality and classic map-like representations. It combines GPS, orientation sensors, 3D graphics, live video, several web services and a novel user interface into an intuitive and light navigation system for mobile devices. This project is a submission for the first round of the Google Android Developer Challenge and should not be considered a final product. If you want to learn about it in depth, please read our detailed documentation.
