Yandex maps additional reality. Checked Yandex.Maps with augmented reality. Work

Living in a more or less large settlement, it is very difficult to do without navigation tools. What to say there, if you live in a metropolis. That is why one of the navigator applications should be kept at hand for your iPhone.

One of the first navigators for smartphones in which offline cards were implemented, thanks to finding the point "B", it is not necessary to contact the Internet at all. But 2GIS - not just mobile maps, this is also an extremely informative reference book compared with the "yellow pages". Find the nearest institution where you can eat? Not a problem. Moreover, if you want to book a table, in 2GS you will learn not only the address, but also the mode of operation, as well as contact details.

The feature of the application is that when you first start it, you will need to download offline cards for your city, that is, online 2gis is simply not working. When building a route 2GIS takes into account how you will get: on foot, on public transport, taxi or personal car. For each of the cases, one or several maximum short routes will be selected.

Yandex maps

And if 2GIS allowed to work with offline cards from the very beginning, then in Yandex.Maps this feature It appeared quite recently. But it does not make the application worse because thanks to the possibility of working online we get a lot useful information. For example, if you move on ground transport, it is important to know the current state of the road. The application will show the road shortloading level on your route and, if necessary, will select the route to around the traffic jams.

As in the case of 2GIS, the route is formed on the basis of how you plan to get. And if you want to take a taxi, you can immediately see the cost of the trip, as well as call Yandex.Taxi literally in one click. And getting to the destination for the first time, you will certainly please the possibility of a virtual walk through the streets of the city using the function "Augmented Reality".

Yandex. Navigator

If Yandex.Maps are a universal application for compiling any types of routes, searching organizations, viewing their operation and contact data, then Yandex.Navigator - indispensable assistant For motorists. To come to the point of destination as the best way to the best route is easy - for this it is only worth following the prompts on the navigator maps. And so that you do not miss the desired turn, the autoinformer will say in advance where you should move.

Opportunities Yandex. Navigator can be listed for a very long time, here are only the main: speed control (you can specify your parameters), notification of the tracking chambers of the speeding mode, the display of the plug levels, offline work, "Treats"Where drivers can share information about the condition of the road at specific sites. Pleasant bonus There will be different voices for the informant, for example, recently, users have become available to hear the tips from Darth Vader, Optimus Prime, Master of Yoda and many other famous characters. If you have a car, then this navigator must be installed.

Navitel Navigator

In the queue another car navigator for the iPhone. If you are a motorist with experience, then surely heard of such a well-known company as Navitel, whose cards were installed in almost every navigator. If we talk about the application for the iPhone, here the developers at the last moment pay attention to the interface, which cannot be said about functionality.

For example, the most weighty plus of Navitel is the area of \u200b\u200bthe coating: if you are an avid traveler, you will be pleased with the fact that it feels perfectly throughout Europe, Asia and America, and the functioning of the navigator occurs in offline mode (but it is worth considering the impressive weight many cards). Among other features it is worth highlighting a convenient search for important organizations, displaying the level of traffic jams, providing a detailed weather forecast, speed control, and also searching and adding friends.

Google maps

One of the most significant services google companies are cards. If the application from Google has greatly inferpeded with the solution from Yandex (largely due to low detailing cards, even in large cities), now they are approximately equal, but Google has several remarkable options that are absent from the competitor.

For example, in the process of long use Google Cards, you will probably be interested in viewing the places in which you visited. If you need your loved ones to know where you are at the current moment, activate the geodatabony function. No internet access? No problem! Just pre-download offline cards and use them at any time, wherever you are.

Maps.me.

An indispensable application for travelers. Deciding to visit a new country for you, do not forget to download the region you need to use Maps.me without access to the Internet.

From the main features of Maps.me, select the selection of entertainment in the selected region, the formation of routes (unlike other cartographic applications for iPhone, there is a possibility of drawing up cycling routes), convenient search for institutions by category, instant stamps, sending the current location to friends and much Other.

Each of the presented applications for the iPhone has detailed and constantly updating cards, but at the same time, they are very different, possessing their unique features. We hope with our help you could choose perfect offline cards for yourself.

Yandex, a company that has recently has already managed to fulfill as many as two decades, continues to delight its users with innovations that meet the latest technology of augmented reality.

Happy device owners with iOS system 11 Literally before the release, it was possible to use Yandex.Maps in a new format. The freshly bred function is available to those who have occurred to the jump on their "apple" technique itself of the router itself, namely, version 9.6. Compatibility is observed with gadgets equipped with an A9 processor: several models of iPhones (starting with 6s \\ SE) and iPids.

How to enable Ar mode in Yandex.Maps

After AR activation, you will see the route through the camera of your smartphone. Virtual marks will be superimposed on the city landscape and you do not get lost - even at night. The usual map format is easy to return to the device screen if necessary, as it, in the form of thumbnails, is present at the bottom of the display.

So far, the AR-navigator can issue erroneous "pointers", so the usual format is still an important thing, it remains to hope that over time, all the shortcomings will be corrected by the developers.

Generally, new feature more than useful; It has every chance to gradually become even better and gain popularity in a wide audience.

(Also known as Wi2Geo) launched the appletent reality of Altergeo (Algeo) for the iPhone (link for iTunes). With it, users receive information about the location of friends and seats, looking through the camera of their phone.

The iPhone users became available a completely new type of card, which allows you to master the space of the metropolis easier, faster and technological. Looking through the camera of your mobile device, they can now see pop-up information messages about places and friends imposed on the real image of the surrounding: for example, 500 meters in this direction is a cafe, 710 - ATM, and after 843 - tireage. The same pop-ups in the appropriate message will tell about who from the friends registered in Altergeo is near and at what distance. Application for iPhone 3G S uses built-in mobile device Compass for others iPhone models A ruler of the manual compass is provided, which the user itself scrolls.

With the new application, the surrounding reality is complemented by information from the ALTERGEO database, social serviceallowing to determine the location of users and show the places on the map located nearby: cafes, restaurants, cinemas, shops, sinks, car services and many others.

"Altergeo users will be able to meet and communicate with those with whom they go to the same institutions," says the founder of Wi2geo Denis Alaev. - For this, it is possible to "check" in a particular place. You can report that you are in this club, only to friends, and you can - everyone without limiting users. It also allows you to find out the opinion of other users about a particular institution, get a real, live recommendation. For example, I see that a person constantly walks into a restaurant in which I am now for the first time, you can write a message to him and find out that the cook turns out best. "

The Altergeo application has become the first appointed reality in Russia. Augmented reality This is a translation into Russian language of the generally accepted name of the new trend in the world of high technologies - AUGMENTED REALITY (abbreviated AR) when reality is complemented by information from the Internet or other databases. One of the most famous examples of augmented reality is graphic image Trajectories of the ball or washer during the broadcast of various sports games.
Thanks to alternative geography from Altergeo to master new areas of the megalpolis, look for the right places nearby, find out who from friends is near, to communicate amazingly just - just look at the world around the chamber through the camera.

You can find more about the application more about the application.

The developers of this application really deserve attention. The guys do not just use a new-fashioned chip, but implement its potential 100%.

The training program will clearly show and tell how the transmission works, the battery gives a charge, the laser is shining, which makes the brain and much more.

Firstly, this is a visual, detailed interactive. Everything can be twisted, scaling, touching parts and get tips.

Secondly, there is a step-by-step training, like a teacher with a book telling about certain things.

Thirdly, this is not a one-time program, but a whole platform in which new units sorted by category units will boot. The app is free, but to my great regret in English.

On the other hand - a good reason to pull up English. Jig Space is perhaps the most useful, impressive and inspirational application from all available in Ar. Here it is the future in the education system. And many complex things become a little easier.

TapMeasure.

Thanks to TapMeasure, you can measure the length of the items, determine the deviation of the figures from the specified plane and even create a three-dimensional room plan with windows, doors and other surfaces.

As a result, it turns out an interactive model in which you can see all sizes. Very comfortable thing, especially when you need to sketch or measure something, and there is no roulette or laser at hand. Of course, accuracy leaves much to be desired.

It is worth considering that the meter error can be centimeter and more. But for the absence of any other more accurate tool, such a solution is still an output.

IKEA PLACE.

The guys from IKEA quickly picked up and adopted Arkit by making a cool addition to their catalog. Now many things of the Swedish furniture factory can be entered into their room and look at how much good or it will not look much.

Models are highly poloned and looks great enough. There are two main claims - there is no possibility to scale items, just the application does not always accurately compares the size, and the absence of a program in Russian App Store.. Otherwise - keep it up. Add more things from the catalog, tie all the characteristics to them and you will be happy and a sea of \u200b\u200bconvenience.

Sketchar.

If you do not know how to draw, then not everything is lost. And for this, at the initial stage, it is not necessary to go to the circle into the house of culture. The Sketch AR application will help you with it. Having preferably on the A4 sheet of the camera scanner recognizes it and show four points that need to draw.

For the system, they will be readable, after which the image selected from the directory is disroached. Of course, you can keep one hand, and the second is to outline the picture, but it is better to fix the smartphone or tablet on the tripod.

With Sketchar you will easily get a good and most importantly proportional backbone image. Then he will remain without helping to finish the work.

Magicplan.

The main emphasis of this application falls on the preparation of drawing plans of the premises and the technology of augmented reality in this greatly helps. There is no need to draw each line - quickly ran around the room, marking the corners and the finished plan turns out.

Where it is necessary - they corrected where it is necessary - drawn. Then, the doors, windows and furniture from the structurized catalog added, and now in 5 minutes you have a great sketch that is not ashamed to show.

During repair, this application will become simply indispensable. Cool the fact that then all the premises obtained can be combined into one project and it will turn out an apartment or a house.

Housecraft.

One of the first test examples augmented reality was an Apple program that allows you to arrange a couple of furniture items. HOUSECRAFT developers developed this idea and added a bunch of interactive and home utensil elements?

Items can be placed with high accuracy, rotate, scale and even have virtual models on each other. So to furnish the room with elements of the interior, albeit virtual objects, will not be difficult.

Night Sky.

Not a new Night SKY application after a recent Appge received two modes of augmented reality - classic, with the overlapping of the starry sky and with the display of the solar system. True, the last feature is available only by subscription. It is good that at least the first month is free. So they walked, they scared the sky and our system and on it enough.

Yandex maps

The guys from Yandex decided to become pioneers in the world where the cartography and augmented reality coexist. In the pedestrian mode, when building a route on the ground, the point and the path to it will be displayed.

While all this is implemented very simple and practically does not have any benefit, but is a visual example of the fact that in this direction you can work and it will look organically.

It remains to finish the attachment route binding, add interactive plates to buildings and make intelligent glasses augmented reality and the technological future will definitely be one step closer.

App in the air

This application will prompt and show the routes and flight status online of those or other flights. If you drop a bunch of basic functions and focus on augmented reality, then based on its flight history for all time or for a specific year the program will show all your flights on the three-dimensional ball.

But if the developers integrated flying flights to augmented reality online would be much cooler.

Paint Space Ar.

And closes our rating drawing to AR. There is nothing special here - choose colors, tools or some effects and just beam, painting a virtual environment. Why it may be needed in practice - I do not know.

So the developers also provided a limited number of tools, colors and opportunities. For the rest, please pay.

Unfortunately, applications implemented using augmented reality in the App Store are negligible, and even less sensible. IN Google Play. Such programs will begin to appear a little later, because Google has delayed with the release package for developers.

Received support for navigation regime with augmented reality based on Arkit. for all apple smartphonesstarting from iPhone SE and newer.

How does it work and how useful can such a feature?

How to turn it on

To enable navigation mode with augmented reality, you must first lay a pedestrian route from one point to another, run it, and then click on large blue button.

She will immediately translate the phone to mode AR, Run the camera and pave the route.

How does it work

The route is paved in the form of virtual points right on your way, while the usual map is displayed in a miniature. It can be increased if suddenly Ar-navigation Began to climb and show incorrect coordinates.

This, unfortunately, so far it happens. I passed the bridge and the end point of the route in the mode of augmented reality suddenly became the opposite of what I needed. In other conditions, there were no problems even late in the evening.

And this is really a cool thing! Not always in the evening you can navigate along the usual map and on the ground, and then everything is shown right in front of the eyes through the smartphone chamber. Get lost unrealistic.

That in the end

Cool and useful feature, which will accurately become better with time. For such a navigation future. Worth praise Yandex. For such a quick introduction of the latest functions.

By the way, tomorrow the company turns 20 years and you can read about it on
