编辑点评:通过摄像头实时拍摄真实景象,在景象中添加罗盘来帮你辨认方向。支持POI(Point of Interest的缩写,即兴趣点,每个POI包含四方面信息,名称、类别、经度、纬度)功能,方便你找到事先标注的地点。
Interactive Augmented Reality (live camera view augmented by virtual elements) 3D compass with POI navigation and basic map features. Unlike other (regular) compasses this app can be used in absolutely any device orientation.
The blue barrel-shaped object behaves exactly as a real magnetized body in the Earth magnetic and gravity fields suspended in the air. It is touchable and flickable.
The virtual heading tape indicates true heading as soon as a position fix available, otherwise it falls back to magnetic heading.
A red marker (along with POI name and distance) indicates current 3D direction to a currently selected Point Of Interest.
Expected Sun position is also indicated in the augmented reality view - this could be useful for 'sanity checks' in harsh magnetic interference environments.
Remark on using the app inside buildings: to get reasonable position accuracy indoors try turning on WiFi connection - it actually should work with any other iPhone app using location services.

Note that distance and altitude units (km/miles/ft/m) can be selected outside of the app in the iPhone Settings - just scroll down to iARCompass.
