New Mapping API Makes iPhone Augmented Reality Easy

This week we announced the availability of a new mapping API for our 3DAR augmented reality iPhone SDK that enhances the Apple’s standard map component, allowing developers to transform mapping applications into 3D geodata visualizers with just a few minutes of programming.

The new API was demonstrated at the Augmented Reality Event to an audience of mobile developers and natural user interface design experts. Existing beta customers have already published apps such as SP Next Bus and Japanoramic, but the ease of 3DAR’s new Mapping API makes augmented reality a breeze for any iOS developer.

Developers can download a free version of the SDK from www.3dar.us and will also find documentation and a 5 minute tutorial video that demonstrates the ease with which existing mapping applications can be enhanced with AR features.
