App developers Puca have revised the GeoFindIT business location app for GeoDirectory to include an augmented reality function that provides real-time overlays of house prices, directions and more.
Users can check out local property prices by strolling down their street with GeoFindIT open on their phone. When the augmented reality setting is open, the app works intuitively, displaying price and direction information for properties in whichever direction the user’s phone is pointing.
