Enkin

Modern mobile devices are increasingly developing into smaller personal computers in terms of their computational power and complexity. At the same time they create new possibilities for software developers and user interface designers to combine GPS, orientation sensors, 3D graphics, video capturing, augmented reality and permanent wireless internet.

Enkin is an attempt to channel this potential into one novel navigation application using the full potential of the Google Android SDK. It turns the mobile device into a 3D navigator and transforms it into a window into an augmented reality while using the full potential of modern handhelds. The fundamental principle of Enkin is to display location-based information in a way that bridges the gap between reality and classic map-like representations.
