Augmented Reality Point of Interest (AR-POI) is a mobile app for visualising geospatial features via markers superimposed over the live camera view (on a mobile phone or tablet). In the near future this app could be be adapted to work on head-mounted wearables such as Google Glass or ported to run on Microsoft HoloLens.

Point of Interest is a subject term, it depends on what the user is actually interested in at any given time. For the purpose of demonstrating the proof of concept Historical Places, Things, Organisations, Images and Events will be sourced from the SA History Hub GEOJSON Endpoint and the State Library of SA Photographs and National Library of Australia Trove.

The BeyondAR framework has been designed to offer some resources to those developers with an interest in working with Augmented Reality based on geolocalization on SmartPhones and tablets.

Don't forget to check the wiki and the documentation to get more information about how to use this framework.

BeyondAR platform only supports Android (Google Glass included). We are currently working to support other platforms.

BeyondAR Game is using this platform to show the creatures around the user. Here some images:
