About CompassTip: AR Compass
CompassTip app features an augmented reality virtual 3D compass presented on the live camera feed of your device. Easily find your point of interest via your camera and also through the focus eyelet in the middle of the compass. From there, you can read the compass directions without having to lift your head or shift your eyes to away from your point of interest. The compass also features a map that automatically updates as you move your device. The app features a unique responsive compass where the indicators tilt and move according to the tilt of your device. The indicators are designed to tilt and move in a way that display intuitive directions in 3D space. For example, normal standard compasses and standard indicators of direction have a fixed arrow that points downwards when you have your device held vertically in front of you even if that direction is directly behind you. Arrows pointing straight up when you are facing straight ahead are more intuitive than arrows that point straight down when it is meant to be pointing behind you. The tilting of the compass also provides intuitive visual feedback on how much you are tilting your device. CompassTip is designed to tilt that arrow so that it points inwards towards the screen to indicate a direction that is behind you, and this happens accurately and smoothly as you move your device around. This is coupled with augmented reality so that you can view what you are pointing at and have a proper indication of directions in relation to your camera. The app also lets you adjust the camera (digital) zoom to aid you in visually finding your point of interest. Key features: • Augmented reality compass with 3D direction needles that also moves according to the tilt of your device; • A map that is synchronized to your current location and heading, which automatically updates as you move your device; • Adjustable map size; • Ability to adjust the camera zoom; • Ability to turn AR on and off; • Ability to share a screenshot of your compass screen; and • Information display that includes current heading, longitude, latitude and elevation. This app uses an in-app credit system called, CompassTip Beans. You earn CompassTip Beans by interacting with advertisements or making consumable in-app purchases that top-up the number of beans. You may then exchange and redeem these beans for other features in the app including activating ad-free periods.
