You may wonder sometimes while using any augmented reality software (not only mixare 😉 ) why the points aren’t quite showing in the right place. The same thoughts crossed our minds while developing and testing mixare, and since we were sure we couldn’t blame it on the data (as they are entered from our team and they do a wonderful job!) we performed some quick tests and the results were so funny that we had to share them with you!

It’s face-off time: HTC Dream (G1) vs Motorola Milestone and a special guest!

Good news first: three new apps are now in the market, and they use mixare to show data entered by a team of professionals. One is for South Tyrol (Italy), one for Trentino (Italy) and one for Tyrol (Austria). (see screenshot)

Unfortunately we have also some bad news to report: we tried hard but we will not manage to release the sources by today. We are forced to pospone it until monday, but we promise that you’ll get them by then! 🙂

Back to the good news! We published in the Google Code wiki the instructions to put your own data in mixare!
Please leave a comment about your experiments, we hope you are excited as we are!

A very short post to announce that mixare is in the market worldwide (since yesterday evening, actually).

Just search for “mixare” in the android market or follow this link if you are browsing from your mobile.

The data that you’ve seen in the video demo are taken from the touristic portal suedtirolerland.it. If you search for suedtirolerland in the android market (or follow this link) you can get the application and see the data. Of course you’ll see something only if you are in South Tyrol.

Finally, it’s always more to do than planned for reaching your goals. Tomorrow we will present “mixare” during a small press conference in Bolzano based TIS innovation park, and we are still working on last details, in order to complete all in time. See you tomorrow… 🙂
