Augmented Reality Software for Historical Sites

This is a list of augmented reality solutions Cartogoo has developed for historical sites. They are mobile App solutions aimed at remote and on-site use of the software. In a remote mode you can view the site by turning the GPS off and manually navigate the site in 3D or, walk around the site using GPS and view the reconstructed buildings on your mobile device. The software allows different base maps to be used including Google, Bing and OSM. It also may show ‘information lollipops’ which highlight positions of interest. By tapping on a lollipop, an information panel appears describing this interest point. Below is a list of the augmented reality software Apps available currently.
