    Hi, Yes I have a device.

    The idea and AR concept is similar, however I don’t know Enkin in detail. It is not yet available in the Android Market. However one must say that the concept of AR is already around for a few years, its just that devices that can do AR were not available before Android/G1.

    Philipp, have you received the device as ADC round 1 winner? :-)
    How does Wikitude AR Travel Guide compare to Enkin?

    Excelent Stuff. This looks like it could become a saleing point of Andriod phones in general.
    Perhapes one extension could be to allow custom map locations overlaid from a GoogleMap’s “MyMaps” feature….thus allowing people to create their own landscape referances.

    Yes. It reloads content every 3 miles. However, the cam view does not work well in the car because of various magnetic interferences. regards,
