According to the latest reports, Nokia City Lens augmented reality app is available free of cost for existing Nokia Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 smartphones. Recently this app was unveiled along with the new Lumia 820 and 920 handsets. Similar to other augmented reality apps, the Nokia City Lens also takes the help of the device's camera and then covers information about that place available online.
Nokia explained on its website that the app provides augmented reality to provide on-screen information about the handset's surroundings. The app then provides information about each building or landmark in the area giving the user an at-a-glance understanding of what restaurants, museums, shops and others places of interest are nearby.
In the Lumia 920 and 820, this new app is better synchronized with the hardware of the phone. The existing Lumia phones which do not have Pureview technology but do have a decent camera will also get the benefit from this tech. Although this app is going to be better, thanks to Nokia's better understanding of its own hardware.
