Wikitude World Browser is the very first Augmented Reality Browser for smartphone-users. It was published almost simultaneously to the first Android device end of 2008 (the G1).

An Augmented Reality Browser scans the users surrounding for (e.g.) geo-referenced content using the camera and the device’s sensors. The obects’ information is displayed in the cam right where the real object is located.

There are millions of places to discover in Wikitude and users are most interested the ones nearby. The World Browser collects the closest places of all local content providers, so you immediately know what’s happening around you. Each place (or POI, Point Of Interest) belongs to provider, a so called “Worlds”. Local Worlds are listed on strt-up, each one providing information of places around you. E.g. check “Wikipedia” to see all Wikipedia information around you. Users can then view the information in a List, on a Map or in the Cam (AR-View). This way the user always know what’s around you, no matter where they are.
