At CES, Nokia previewed Nokia City Lens, an augmented reality app that allows users to locate points of interest nearby using maps and the camera’s viewfinder. Consumers can then share locations or favorite spots with friends through email, texts, or posts on their social networks.
City Lens was demonstrated on the 4.3-inch screen of the new Lumia 900.
The app features multiple views based on the phone’s orientation. For example, positioning the phone horizontally will display the augmented reality camera mode with locations as an overlay, in portrait mode a list of locations is made available, and holding the camera towards the ground provides an overhead map.
The app will be available in a beta version next month.
For a sneak peek, check out the AllThingsD video demo from the CES showfloor.
