location-based Augmented Reality Framework (Android, iOS) with 3D POIs?

Oli picture Oli · Oct 6, 2011 · Viewed 8k times · Source

I search a location-based Augmented Reality Framework with 3D POIs for Android, iOS or most suitable for both?

It should not be something like Wikitude or Layer, because the user must always download the app from Wikitude or Layer to use my own app. Right?

I would like to integrate it into my own app. I've found Mixare, but yet it seems this uses no 3D POIs.

I am looking for such a thing as well. I just found http://www.3dar.us/ which seems like a good place to start for iOS. It isn't open source, which is a bummer.

Edit:

I have tried out Mixare, and I am really impressed by it. I have compiled it for Android. The only part that gave me a hard time was making sure the project was using the Google API v10, and that I had it installed.

Mixare does easily support Points of interest (POI) Check out their wikipage for more about it, basically you just feed it JSON. I am personally going use CouchDB with GeoCouch to serve up data, with free hosting provided by iriscouch

The JSON should look like the following:

{
    "status": "OK",
    "num_results": 1,
    "results": [
        {
            "id": "2827",
            "lat": "46.43893",
            "lng": "11.21706",
            "elevation": "1737",
            "title": "Penegal",
            "distance": "9.756",
            "has_detail_page": "1",
            "webpage": "http%3A%2F%2Fwww.suedtirolerland.it%2Fapi%2Fmap%2FgetMarkerTplM%2F%3Fmarker_id%3D2827%26project_id%3D15%26lang_id%3D9"
        }
    ]
}

The most wonderful thing is that it is GPLed!
