Today LG announced that their Optimus 3G Android smartphone will come with an exclusive augmented reality browser. The Korean company has collaborated with Wikitude to create an app that allows reportedly unprecedented interaction and engagement with your current environment. Yeah, right!
You see, while regular smartphones only display overlapped objects, the stereoscopic screen of the LG Optimus 3D will allows it to show places, landmarks and objects in 3D making them easier to distinguish. If you think about it, this is probably one of the coolest application of that screen. But we bet, much like with other augmented reality apps, its coolness factor won't last more than five minutes.
The information database of Wikitude 3D (that’s the name of the app) covers over 100 million locations around the world, with contributions from more than 1,000 content providers. The Optimus 3D browser currently supports 12 languages and more should be added to the list in the near future.
If you always wanted a 3D augmented reality app you will be able to get Wikiture 3D from the company’s own application store, LG World, in June. The good news is that it’s going to be free. Useful? Well, not really.
