Toozla: audio augmented reality
If you want to use augmented reality you will have to use your expensive mobile devices on todays streets with the possibility of losing your phone or even worse theft. For many people this is not a very appealing scenario.
To solve this problem there is Toozla. This is an augmented reality application which uses audio to guide their users. So you do not have to retrieve your expensive device from your pockets. That's the idea behind this application. Toozla is perfect to use when you want more information about your surroundings like buildings.
Toozla describes itself as:
a mobile service that combines a global positioning system with audio tours and stories, user content, and local information, to give you an all-in-one travel guide that you can take with you everywhere. Toozla allows you to receive a wide variety of content, such as travel guides, weather forecasts, chat messages, and much, much more.
The great idea behind Toozla is of course that the content is crowdsourced. So everyone can make a guide tour of their favourite town. This principle seems like the concept of Audiosnacks.
