CompassTip vs AR_Compass

CompassTip app features an augmented reality virtual 3D compass presented on the live camera feed of your device. Easily find your point of interest via your camera and also through the focus eyelet in the middle of the compass. From there, you can read the compass directions without having to lift your head or shift your eyes to away from your point of interest. The compass also features a map that automatically updates as you move your device. The app features a unique responsive compass where the indicators tilt and move according to the tilt of your device. The indicators are designed to tilt and move in a way that display intuitive directions in 3D space. For example, normal standard compasses and standard indicators of direction have a fixed arrow that points downwards when you have your device held vertically in front of you even if that direction is directly behind you. Arrows pointing straight up when you are facing straight ahead are more intuitive than arrows that point straight down when it is meant to be pointing behind you. The tilting of the compass also provides intuitive visual feedback on how much you are tilting your device. CompassTip is designed to tilt that arrow so that it points inwards towards the screen to indicate a direction that is behind you, and this happens accurately and smoothly as you move your device around. This is coupled with augmented reality so that you can view what you are pointing at and have a proper indication of directions in relation to your camera. The app also lets you adjust the camera (digital) zoom to aid you in visually finding your point of interest. Key features: • Augmented reality compass with 3D direction needles that also moves according to the tilt of your device; • A map that is synchronized to your current location and heading, which automatically updates as you move your device; • Adjustable map size; • Ability to adjust the camera zoom; • Ability to turn AR on and off; • Ability to share a screenshot of your compass screen; and • Information display that includes current heading, longitude, latitude and elevation.

This app intuitively shows the direction you're facing on your Apple Watch and helps you easily navigate toward your destination. When used in combination with Holostar (https://ho-lo.jp/lp-holostar/), it displays your current direction at the edge of your field of view, just like AR glasses or smart glasses, providing a more convenient and advanced AR navigation experience. If you have a specific destination in mind, simply press the “SET TARGET” button to set your current direction as the destination. The app will then display your current orientation along with the direction of your destination. Since it requires minimal input, you can skip the steps of setting detailed routes to your destination and use simple, easy-to-use navigation. Since it can be used exclusively with an Apple Watch (no complex setup required on an iPhone or iPad) and does not require complicated operations, this app is ideal for use with Holostar. Additionally, by not displaying detailed route information, the app can adapt more flexibly when the actual path you can take differs from the detailed navigation route—such as when affected by road construction or when passing through the interior of buildings, including underground areas. By switching the time display settings on your iPhone, you can navigate toward your destination while keeping track of travel time and arrival time, or simply move while focusing on the direction. *The app supports right-eye and left-eye display on Holostar based on your Apple Watch’s right-hand or left-hand wear settings. Set it to the right hand for right-eye use, and to the left hand for left-eye use. *You cannot experience AR without using Holostar. *With standard compass apps, due to display methods and Apple Watch orientation settings, you cannot achieve an AR navigation experience that directly aligns the displayed direction with your line of sight even when combined with Holostar.
