Early today, Nokia’s Point & Find application got an update. As you might already know, Point & Find lets you point your Nokia device’s camera at a poster, or magazine cover etc and gives you relevant info about it near-instantly.
Here’s a bit from the blog post on BetaLabs :
The P&F Management Portal lets you create, manage and share your own custom experiences with others. We call them your ‘worlds’. For instance, the Camden Crawl music festival in London created its world. During the festival, visitors could point at posters, flyers and venues with their phones to connect to Camden Crawl content and promos. Other branded worlds are in preparation and we hope you will try to create a world of yours.
To begin, create an account. Then, follow the step-by-step instructions in the quick start guide, that will tell you how to:
- Create a world –you can name your own experience and customize it; remember, there is a subscription fee to create a world
- Build a directory –a directory lets you associate images to content or actions; you can organize your directory using folders so your users can easily navigate it
- Secure access –you only decide who can join your world and with what access right
- Add and manage tags – tags define what action will be taken when your users point at objects; they can be modified, copied, deleted
Once your world is ready, others can download it by entering its full name on the Add/Remove world screen in their P&F client.
Here’s a video introducing this new version of Point and Find :
If you’re in the UK or the United States, you can download the app over at PointandFind.Nokia.com or head over to the BetaLabs Blog post if you have feedback or wish to comment on it.
