Looksee Singapore is an Augmented Reality (AR) viewer that you can use to find places of interest directly within your camera's view and add fun, knowledge and interest to your adventures and tours.
Ideal for both tourists and locals wishing to explore the Singapore surounds.
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 Singapore when there is no or poor signal coverage.
This version, for Singapore, locates places around Singapore central business district and surrounding Jurong and Tekong Islands, extending northwards through the Johar Straights up to southern Mayalsia and south to the Singapore Straight towards Batam in Indonesia.

I’d used the Hong Kong Look See so delighted you also have Singapore Look See. Provides great insight for sight-seeing. Love the slide bar for easily scaling the distance of area you want to take in.
