App Description

Looksee Wales is an Augmented Reality (AR) viewer used to find places of interest directly within your camera's view and add fun, knowledge and interest to your adventures and tours.

It's simple to use - you just point and go! It includes a choice of Map or Satellite Image in view and a Search function to help locate things.

Once downloaded no wi-fi or cellular network is necessary, so you can use when out and about in Wales, even when there is no or poor signal coverage.

This version, for Wales, locates places in and around the entire country. That's right - it covers the entire country stretching from Anglesey in the North West to Chepstow in the South East. The edge of Merseyside in the North East to St David’s in the South West. This is an area of nearly 21,000km2 and includes over 32,000 things to see in the App.

Categories that can be viewed and selected include Tourist Attractions, Hills, Lakes, Parks & Woodlands, Cities, Towns, Suburban Areas, Villages & Hamlets, Cafes, Restaurants, Cafes, Airports, Train & Major Bus Stations, Municipal Buildings, Places of Worship, Historic Sites and Museums & Arts.

Some of the helpful Looksee features include:

- Interactive objects (that you can touch for more information on them)
- Magic EYE (to declutter the visuals and select only objects within)
- Satellite or Map image in view (can select which or disable completely)
- Search menu (with on-screen directional arrow and indicator graphics)
- Filters menu (using which the categories of points of interest you wish to display can be easily filtered out or selected)
- Distance slider (for an interactive depth of view filter up to 10km)
- Zoom (using an on screen pinch to zoom gesture)
- Snap-shot camera (for annotating your photos)
- Video recorder for saving and sharing interesting places on social media (accessed by holding the camera icon for 1 second)

So please enjoy adding interest to your Welsh Wales outdoor adventures!
