[Philip Lelyveld comment - this is Virtual Reality, not Augmented Reality. Its a nice little travel brochure with 360 prerecorded look-around and interaction capabilities.]
Civic Resource Group (CRG) and the Palm Springs Bureau of Tourism of Palm Springs, Calif. today announced the availability of the Augmented Reality "VisitPalmSprings" App on iTunes.
"VisitPalmSprings" includes key functional features covering the latest information for those looking for what to do and how to get around the city using public transportation in Palm Springs. Users will be able to find accommodations, events, dining, attractions and more; get exclusive access to local deals; use bookmarks to help plan a journey. The app includes interactive maps and compass view. Users can virtually "move" to another location to see what's waiting for them at the next point of interest. The app also includes Augmented Reality features such as geospatial search, pointing, and pointing- enabled search. The app works offline - meaning no surprise roaming/data charges for the users. The City's newest addition, the BUZZ Trolley, shows real-time route information.
