Question

I am looking for an Android SDK for a location-based AR app I am developing.

These are the features I am looking for:

1. Open-source framework preferred (Wikitude API requires an external install which is inconvenient).
2. My application should easily open/close the camera view. Specifically, I’d like to open the camera view when the user holds the phone straight up and switch to a map view when it is flat. It would be great if the SDK already supports this 🙂
3. I can add POIs from my application (not loading from a remote POI service) to the camera view, then the SDK would display markers within some distance from my current location.

I hope my description is clear enough. Thanks for any suggestions!

Answer 1

For the AR part you can use this source code. For the 2nd functionality use the sensor to launch the intents. And the 3rd use a MapActivity, you can start with this example
Good luck!
