San Francisco, September 18th 2009 - Today, metaio officially announced the launch date
of junaio, its mobile augmented reality platform. On November 2nd, the leading company
in augmented reality will release a first version exclusively for the iPhone.
More features
will be released soon after, including capabilities on the Android and Symbian platforms.
junaio will change the way we create, access and share information. By combining innovative
online and mobile technologies, junaio will allow users to see location-based content through the
display of a mobile device. Users can leave traces, messages or objects and visually interact
with their friends or anyone else in the world. Already existing web services can be enhanced
and completely new ways of interaction can be created. Whether it is social networks,
multimedia content or game concepts - virtually anything can be embedded in the real world and
connected to a certain place. "The possibilities are endless, we are taking the Internet outside to
the real world," says Thomas Alt, Chief Executive Officer of metaio.
Seeing location-based multimedia content through the display of your mobile device is only one
part of the story. "Mobile augmented reality is all about the user's orientation. But to deliver a
really useful and robust application, you have to be user oriented," says Peter Meier, Chief
Technology Officer. metaio is defining a new dimension in mobile augmented reality through
incorporation of features that will allow better usability and social interaction. junaio is the result
of more than six years application development in augmented reality and months of research
and usability tests for mobile applications. So get ready for the ultimate Outernet experience!
