WIKITUDE
See Edo Castle Your Way and at Your Own Pace!

Wikitude is a mobile application that provides an Augmented Reality (AR) platform. Augmented Reality overlays virtual vision and information on the real world to enhance human visual perception. Current applications of Wikitude, such as Wikitude World Browser and Wikitude Drive, run on smartphones. These applications can only be used on the iPhone (3GS, 4), Android, Symbian and Bada software platforms as travel guides and personal navigation devices. Future applications of Wikitude can be developed for military, city modeling, and shopping.

Wikitude World Browser application displays information about users' surroundings in a mobile camera view. The application calculates users' current positions by using the Global Positioning System (GPS), a compass, and an accelerometer and accesses the Wikitude data set 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.

Currently, Wikitude World Browser is most commonly used as a travel guide. Users can get web-based information about points of interest, where to eat, description of buildings and architectural images of historical places.

DOWNLOAD Wikitude

Wikitude is a very simple program to use, just turn on the application and then point your phone camera in any general direction. If Wikipedia or our Edo Castle Tour information is available for any buildings, memorials or any other objects in the view of your camera they'll appear with a marker that displays that objects information. Users can also use Google Map based information to find over many points of interest from outside the viewing area of their cameras lens.
