See what hides the landscape with Horizon Explorer
This application uses augmented reality to generate contextual information (distance, height, name and location) that will help you to understand the landscape you are observing. Horizon Explorer is free and is available for iOS and Android.Horizon Explorer is one of the latest applications built on ARCore, Google's augmented reality system. The app works to give a contextual dimension to the landscape so that you can perceive it beyond what your eyes can see.Thanks to the potentialities of augmented reality, the application can analyze the terrain and provide additional information to the elements that compose it. If you focus on a distant mountain, the app calculates the distance, height and location of the geological body on a map.

Note, however, that Horizon Explorer does not only work with natural landmarks. If you want to identify or query contextual information about man-made monuments, or other popular points of interest, the application works just as well.In addition, you can also design a three-dimensional map of some of the points identified by the app to explore through your smartphone.The app is available for Android and iOS, for free (and without advertising), but works only with the devices that support Google's ARCore platform.
