Enkin, a new mobile location-based augmented reality research project

"Enkin", a new mobile AR project initiated by Max Braun and Rafael Spring, 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.

The very comprehensive video above speaks for itself, not only do you see the prototype in action but also how the system architecture is set up and other useful information. Quite possibly the best and most complete mobile location-based AR application I have seen so far...
