The Next Web

Wikitude brought augmented reality (AR) to early smartphones with the Wikitude AR Travel Guide, kicking off when Google launched its G1 Android phone way back in 2008. It tapped the necessary components to make AR tick, such as a digital compass, GPS and accelerometer. The Austria-based company has become renowned for its AR browsers across iOS, Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry (see here), and now Wikitude Lab has announced that it’s taking its tech to the Web with its ‘AR Window’, which allows any mobile webpage to implement augmented reality, with a patent currently pending on the underlying technology.
