Meet Tagwhat, Another Augmented Reality Network For iPhone And Android Users
Powered by Iryss, which also offers customized mobile and AR software integration solutions for enterprises, Tagwhat is a consumer-facing product that allows people to tag real-world locations and attach information, reviews, links, photos, videos, notes and so on to those particular spots, whether tied to their current location or not.
In addition to accessing geo-contextual information, users can also scan a product’s bar code in the viewfinder to pull up information like price comparisons or coupons, as well as instantly contact a nearby friend in their preferred method (call, SMS, email, tweet …).
Users can follow other people and merge their respective ‘markers’ together in an effort to build a global network of augmented reality hotspots.
If you want to give it a go, you can sign up here and use invitation code ar7890 – the first 100 TC readers to register get in.
On a sidenote: Iryss is the new incarnation of GoWeb3D, one of the more prominent providers of ‘layars’ to the popular Layar AR Browser, including overlays for Wikipedia, Yelp and Flickr.
