So what are you guys using Wikitude for? And how do you do that?
I've messed around with it a bit, but haven't really found a solid use for it. It seems like a novelty really.

Check out this thread for more information.
I haven't even loaded it on my 9930, and I honestly don't plan on loading it anytime soon. I really don't know what I would use it for. I'm with you, it seems more like a novelty more than anything. :rolleyes:
Wikitude, like most apps, are of limited use.
However, there have been times where I needed to find the nearest coffee shop or whatever and that app saved my **** 2 or 3 times.
I wouldn't say that it's useless. I feel that Wikitude is just scratching the surface of what augmented reality can be and where mobile technology is headed. :)
Yea, I checked that out the other day. Was a good thread on getting up to speed using the app. I'm just left wondering what others are actually using it for.
Not sure I ever needed coffee that badly! :D
I needed to meet at a coffee shop, but it wasn't for the coffee ;)
Now that I can understand. :D
I play around with it just seeing what is around me, but most of the time it isn't anything I didn't already know about. Being that I work in our state's Capitol, there are TONS of other Blackberrys around me, in case I wanted to bbm with a random state employee. :p
WikiTude is only on os7 correct?
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com
Yes, and iOS and Android devices. On their website it says they are making an OS6 compatible app.
Wikitude
BlackBerry
Wikitude comes pre-installed on all OS7 devices (AR capable devices, which have a digital compass) and will also be available for non-AR capable OS 6 and OS 5 devices with a map view only very shortly. Wikitude can also be downloaded via App World for the following devices:
Bold 9900
Bold 9930
Torch 9860
Torch 9850
Torch 9810
Poynt offers similar services, and seems to be even more useful.
Interestingly, I remembered my Poynt app AFTER I used Wikitude, and I actually like being able to scan the scenery and see what is where in which direction I'm looking. Poynt may have a better database of points of interest, but it just seems more natural to me to hold up the phone and scan my surroundings. I can't wait til Wikitude has more content and organizes it better.
