“When the iPhone 4 was unveiled in early June of this year, many were surprised by things like the antennae design or the high resolution ‘Retina Display,'” Chris Cameron reports for ReadWriteWeb.
“Augmented reality fans, however, were excited to see the inclusion of a gyroscope, but until today no iPhone AR apps had included the technology,” Cameron reports. “Acrossair, makers of a popular iPhone AR browser of the same name, are the first to add gyroscopic functionality – making for an incredibly smooth mobile AR experience.”
Cameron reports, “Acrossair produced a video (embedded below) showing a side-by-side comparison of the app running on an iPhone 4 and a previous model without the gyroscope.”

Which was which??? Not impressed. Maybe I just don’t get it.
I hope they asked for permission to use that music… I wrote it.
Seems to me the one on the left displayed more panels and each was at a different angle. Also the text on those was clearer if still unreadable on video. More contrast too.
So I guess it was the other one, right?
You can see the volume buttons clearly on the iPhone 4 in his left hand. Don’t you own an iPhone?
Ssems the AR just pulls up the contrast – it’s such a rubbish vid that you can’t really tell what they’re trying to do.
Nice music though, Joe!
But does it make the fizzy bubbly??
@geo, being deliberately obtuse isn’t a skill to be proud of…
@ Joe:
Did they ask you for permission or not? Or did you sell the song to someone?
I would check into that…
@ pocketRocket:
It’s a bit ironic that you’re using the word obtuse, which is defined as “not quick or alert in perception, feeling, or intellect; not sensitive or observant; dull” to describe what geo said, when in a previous post you didn’t know what “FUD” stood for…
And considering that obtuse is synonymous with being tactless, boorish, and insensitive, I would say that that was pretty tactless, boorish, and insensitive of you to say…
Ok, can’t say much about the app, but VERY nice music.
Right side = jumping panels because of the missing gyroscope
My iPhone 4 is supposed to arrive tomorrow… Can’t stand the wait!!!!!
Sure hope all this hoopla about the antenna turns out to be just that- hoopla…

From the YouTube video description:
“Advanced augmented reality using iPhone 4 retina display, compass and gyroscope to give incredibly steady AR view without the shakiness that is caused by accelerometers amplify hand movement.”
The “shakiness” is most obvious at about 0:20, when the user changes direction.
OK, so now that I’m completely nauseous, I’ll have to go get the latest Paul Mitchell, feathered hairdo to feel restored. THANKS!
when did MDN start using flash?
@Joe – I’m impressed!
iphone wha? i’m in love with pollyanna!
I don’t know wtf I’m doing wrong… I just DL’ed this app and I can’t get any camera action… Any search I do ends up with a text list – no matter how I shake it, move it, angle it, etc…
Their FAQ and website is no more help, also…
