2 guys that are studying Computational Visualistics in Koblenz, Germany made a really interesting mobile application with the Google Android SDK for the Google Android Developer challenge. Actually it seems that it has been a while, but better late than never, eh?
” ‘Enkin’ introduces a new handheld navigation concept. It displays location-based content in a unique way that bridges the gap between reality and classic map-like representations. It combines GPS, orientation sensors, 3D graphics, live video, several web services and a novel user interface into an intuitive and light navigation system for mobile devices.”
Watching the video, I am impressed
This application should be integrated into the handset, it eliminates the boring 2D view of traditional apps.
Now that I look at the Top 50, it seems these guys didn’t win anything at the Developer Challenge. Sad for them
They must have worked a lot to get the application working.
