AR Viewer will require:

• image icon with transparency
• white text label centered on icon
• optional distance to icon
• icon selection returns selection event to application

To support ICEmobile-SX the above information needs to be relatively compact and representable as a URL. A parameter "ub" (for URL base) will define the base URL for loading images, set once for all labels. labeltext=latitude,longitude,altitude,iconpath,flags. (Currently flags will contain only "d" for distance). To specify, say, just a flag to show distance, use:

Park=51,-114,,,d

Full 3D is not necessary for Android, but icon import and display should be implemented.

Mediacast, mobileshowcase, and icemobilespring provide AR demos for testing: images are uploaded with

name=latitude, longitude,altitude, direction, url

The caller can also specify a URLBase parameter, ub, that is prefixed to the icon URL.

All of the icon images should be downloaded and displayed centered behind the "name" label.

Note that this is a container change, so could be submitted to the marketplace after 1.1 Final, however it's certainly preferable to have a complete bundle with all client code in 1.1 Final.

Assigning this back to Ted. My devices don't appear to have their location services hardware hooked up. My Tablet fails to achieve a location in both Geolocation and AR view pages.

Might work in conjunction with MOBI-306.
