Mobile device based applications
In the past 12 months there has been anexplosion of applications for use on mobile devices. These have mainly focused on games and location search engines. Simply put,information is tailored to your action or physical location. For example, if you are using a location based AR search application, the information related to your immediate surroundings is overlaid onto the camera image of your device.
