Quick heads-up, BetaLabs “Nokia 3D World Gaze” mixed reality experimental beta app updated. The update brings new view mode, support for Nokia E6, couple of improvements and bug fixes to the client.
“Nokia 3D World Gaze gives you a new kind of viewpoint to the world, allowing you to see through the surface (and insides) of the planet all the way to the other side. Just point your phone to some direction and you will see reality in a way you have never seen before. In addition to geographical features such as continents in their real physical locations, Nokia 3D World Gaze allows you to see geo-tagged media, day and night regions, current location of the Sun, and other content from locations around the world.”
Changelog:
The device’s real web browser app is now used for opening web links. NOTE: If your device is low on memory, World Gaze may be closed while the browser is open (both apps need a lot of memory).
Added new unlocked “orbit” mode: you can freely travel around the world by turning the globe.
Added a fifth content button: “My location”. A glowing user position marker shows your physical location. The current viewing location is also shown (see screenshot).
Full support for Nokia E6: adjusted UI, text sizes and sensor input.
The main menu is now opened with a swipe gesture (swipe from right edge). A new help message about the swipe menus will appear when first starting the app.
Improved performance of (A)GPS positioning.
Settings: Added an option to show the help messages again.
When locking the view direction, the view is automatically straightened so that it does not stay in an awkward angle.
Screensaver/dimming is disabled while the app is running.
All thumbnail images cached in memory are deleted when the app goes to the background, leaving more memory for other applications. Consequently, images will be re-downloaded from the server when the app returns to foreground.
Search markers are not visible on the backside of the planet when viewing from space.
Fixed a crash that occurred when GPS position was found too quickly.
Fixed screen refresh issue on Symbian Belle.
Note: - This beta software is still under development, may have bugs, and is published for testing and feedback purposes.
