augmented reality browser

A couple of months ago I was at an event in London listening to the panel of augmented reality experts taking questions from the audience. One question that was posed was: “why don’t we see any augmented reality applications that use audio rather than visual?’. It was an interesting question and the panel were unable to agree if audio based solutions would be classed as augmented reality. The panel was split, those that had augmented reality browsers thought that these potential solutions would indeed be included, while those that have marker based solutions were not convinced.

Mobile Augmented Reality Browsers

I’m in favour, the introduction of mobile augmented reality browsers has forced a rethink on what the technology actually is, audio augmented reality browsers are about muddying the water even further. (feel free to agree or disagree with me)

Toozla – The Audio Augmented Reality Browser

Toozla have just announced the launch of what I think is the world’s first augmented reality sound browser. It works just like Layar or Wikitude in that it uses location based services to determine your current location and then depending on what channels you are subscribed to will give you an audio commentary. The channels include a Tourist channel for finding information on nearby landmarks, a Services channel to receive promotional information from shops and business and a Weather and Chat channel. In 2021 there are many new devices using Ar (augmented reality technologies ) . We have many new features including smartphones like cameras and applications which are involved in the augmented reality world . Also the games in this era also augmented mobile reality browsers may changed the augmented reality technologies and made changes every day. They are using good augmented reality work on arlabs and many other innovative companies are involved to change and better for their future browsers. Our Goal is to provide the maximum users to get touch with Ar technologies.

Toozla In Action :

Audio augmented reality browsers are an interesting idea. My iPhone cost me around £300 + a continued £35 a month for the next 18 months so I get a little apprehensive when I take it out to perform an augmented reality test on some dark corner. Waving an iPhone around in the dark on the streets of London is asking for attention from the wrong sort of people. I like the idea of Toozla, it’s novel and useful especially if you are on holiday and looking for a city guide, and you don’t have to wave an expensive item around.

Some of the Toozla channels are worldwide (for example the services and weather channels), but to catalogue the tourist attractions in major cities, and to localize into various languages is no easy task and as such the tourist channel is expanding. You can get a complete list of what is available in each location here. Toozla is available for a number of devices (iPhone and Android are in development), but if you have one of the following you can give it ago:
