iPointer 3D to be Demonstrated at CTIA 2009

Las Vegas, NV - April 1-3 - Intelligent Spatial Technologies (iST) will demonstrate the new 3D capabilities of the iPointer® pointing-based mobile search and content delivery system at 2009 International CTIA WIRELESS show.

Imagine walking through a city and seeing an interesting landmark or historic site. You take out your cell phone and point it at that landmark or a restaurant or shop (like a TV remote for the real world). Your cell phone shows you pictures, provides an overview of the site, along with reviews or the menu for the restaurant and a description of today’s special. This is possible with iST’s iPointer “pointing based” mobile search and content delivery platform.

The iPointer mobile search and content delivery platform is network and carrier agnostic and will run on any mobile communication devices with a GPS, Digital Compass and a wireless data connection. Our customers benefit from the dynamic content retrieval and update capabilities of our Web-based geospatial search engine and content delivery architecture.

When a user points their iPointer enabled cell phone at a landmark of interest, such as retailer, restaurant, or historic site, and presses a button, the coordinates from the phone's GPS and directional angles from the Digital Compass are sent over the data network to our Web-based geospatial search engine. Our algorithms use the latitude and longitude plus compass angle to decide the single most likely landmark the user pointed to. Once this is decided, which takes only milliseconds, content, such as pictures, menus, and audio overviews about the landmark is streamed back to the user's phone.

The iPointer doesn't need to use RFID tags or beacons in the buildings to work and the user doesn't need to talk a picture of the building either. Instead all we need is to use the map data that already exists and is used by car navigation systems and Internet maps.
