Voted as “Best Augmented Reality Browser 2009-2011”, Wikitude World Browser is the one app that you will need on your trip to explore and discover your surroundings in Augmented Reality.Using your phone’s camera and GPS, the app cleverly scans and sieves out nearby restaurants, cafes, events, ATMs and more.
