Wikitude disponible pour OS 6 !

Wikitude a initialement fourni son navigateur de réalité augmentée avec les appareils sous Blackberry 7 en tirant parti de la boussole permettant la réalité augmentée. L’application est préchargée sur les téléphones Blackberry 7, ce qui leur a donné une présence importante sur le marché. Ils élargissent maintenant cette présence en sortant Wikitude for OS6. Cette variante offre toutes les fonctionnalités de Wikitude sauf la réalité augmentée qui requiert la boussole. Elle vous permet de chercher des amis BBM autour de vous ainsi que de :

• rechercher des cafés, bars, événements, tweets, articles Wikipédia, DAB, restaurants, etc.

• parcourir plus de 150 millions d’endroits et contenus interactifs

• explorer et identifier des endroits, des monuments et des objets autour de vous

• chercher des endroits spécifiques, par exemple « restaurant thai »

• trouver des coupons et des réductions pour les magasins et boutiques des environs

Vous pouvez télécharger Wikitude for BlackBerry OS 6.0 gratuitement dans l’App World ou lire le communiqué ci-dessous :

Wikitude Expands Support for BlackBerry Smartphones

The BBM connected app now supports BlackBerry 6 OS and higher, and is available in BlackBerry App World starting today

As part of BlackBerry® Dev Con Asia taking place in Singapore this year, Wikitude has announced additional support for smartphones running on the BlackBerry® 6 operating system (OS). With Wikitude being preinstalled on all new smartphones running the BlackBerry 7 OS, bringing Wikitude to smartphones running BlackBerry 6 will help answer considerable demand expressed by users who want to experience Wikitude’s extensive content offering including more than 2,000 content Worlds consisting of approx. 150 million places around the globe. Users of the popular BlackBerry® Bold™ 9700, 9780,9788 and BlackBerry® Torch™ 9800 smartphones can download Wikitude on BlackBerry® App World™ starting today.
Although smartphones running BlackBerry OS 6 do not support the Augmented Reality view, which requires specific hardware features available in BlackBerry 7 based smartphones, the Wikitude app does fully integrate with BBM™ enabling users to find their BBM friends on a map and to communicate with one another based on their location. Users opting to allow their whereabouts to be displayed can even make new friends.
After being crowned “The Most Addictive Social App Using the BBM Social Platform” at BlackBerry DevCon Americas in October, Wikitude most recently won the BlackBerry® EMEA Innovation Award for “Best BBM Connected App”, awarded in Alicante 1^stDecember. “Extending the Wikitude platform to millions of BlackBerry 6 smartphone users will make the BBM experience richer than ever before. We are extremely happy to finally bring this version of Wikitude to even more BlackBerry smartphone users,” says Martin Herdina, Wikitude’s CEO.
Alec Saunders, VP Developer Relations, Research In Motion, said: “We’re delighted that Wikitude has integrated BBM support within their app. Integration with BBM can allow much greater viral discovery for apps, as well as enrich and transform the user experience with important social elements.”
