Toresto for Windows Phone Comes With Augmented Reality
Its updated version of Windows Phone has a special feature, namely the availability of Augmented Reality in it. With this feature, we can identify nearest restaurant using the camera of the phone, as if the restaurant was right in front of us. Toresto will also provide information on what route you can take to get to the restaurant after choosing a restaurant that you’re interested in. It seems Toresto is available for Windows Phone Marketplace Indonesia only as I can’t find it on USA region.
Toresto itself was originally named Raos Pisan and took Bandung and its neighboring areas as its scoop, until it changed its name to be accepted widely. In addition to Windows Phone and iOS, Toresto is also available for Android and Nokia.
I personally hope such application as Toresto won’t be abandoned like Tasterous, because it actually has a huge potential here. One of mobile applications that has similar market and also features Augmented Reality is Menoo! which becomes a preloaded app for BlackBerry 9790.
