tripwolf’s iPhone travel app uses the phone’s GPS capabilities to allow travellers to search for nearby hotels, restaurants and attractions, complete with rating, prices and distances.

Now with Augmented Reality travellers just have to turn the iPhone 3Gs (only this model can use the new feature) horizontally, activating its camera, and nearby travel-related information such as sights, restaurants or hotels are then displayed on the viewer, connecting the real world with the digital world.

Point the iPhone at any Point of Interest in a foreign city and retrieve all available information the online travel guide has to offer, without having to rely on a book or enter specific data. tripwolf currently has over 500,000 accessible Points of Interests available.

“Augmented Reality is the perfect enhancement to our popular tripwolf iPhone App. I can orientate myself by using Augmented Reality anywhere on earth. For example, I can use the tripwolf guide to find top restaurants in my vicinity and use the AR Viewer to navigate there. And the best thing about it is that it all works while I am offline,” says Alexander Trieb, tripwolf COO.


The tripwolf app is also available in offline mode, thus avoiding expensive roaming costs. The newly integrated Augmented Reality Viewer can also be used offline so travellers do not need to load online maps to navigate.
