When you're making cutting edge augmented reality tools, keeping your app up to date with the new nuances of your host platform is essential.

Metaio, therefore, has been quick to update Unifeye – its augmented reality SDK –to version 2.1, allowing developers to take advantage of iOS 4.0 camera access API to create image based AR on iPhone apps.

The firm has also chosen to refresh its own AR browser for iPhone and Android – junaio – to further employ each device's camera, allowing users to source and fix info or 3D objects to specific points of interest in real time.

Glue for you

"Not only may the user obtain information on nearby POIs such as shops, restaurants or train stations, but the camera's eye is now able to identify objects and glue object specific real-time, dynamic, social and 3D information onto the object itself," metaio says on its developer website.

Titled junaio Glue, the new feature can be employed by free for any firm that has a channel on the browser, with any image the user points their phone at able to be enriched by extra content or images, as prescribed by the company in question.
