How does it work?
Augmented reality: WhatsThat detects prominent places around you. Based on your location and your device angle, WhatsThat marks them on the camera screen, so you see the places on your camera screen and a marker above then with the names of the places and its ranges.
When you take a photo, WhatsThat draws an imaginary parallel line from your camera lens to the ground. The app works under any lighting or other condition because it is based on the angle of your device, your location and the area’s topography. You will get the same answer in pitch black, behind a wall, etc.
Getting the best result:
• Ensure that your device’s reception is optimal: note the symbol in the top left corner of your camera display. It will go from green to yellow to red as reception weakens.
• Press the symbol for instructions on how to improve your reception.
• Make sure your compass is accurate. Keep the device away from metals and other things which may disrupt the compass
• Aim at a point on the ground. For example, if you are looking at a building, aim at the point at which the building meets the ground.
• Activate all location services: GPS satellites and wireless networks.
• Within a building or when GPS is not active specify your altitude (building icon on the left)
Accuracy:
WhatsThat’s accuracy is influenced by the accuracy of your GPS and other location services, your compass and movement sensor, and topographical databases. The average margin of error is 10%, given optimal device conditions - when GPS is working and your device compass is accurate. That is, if the object is 1 km away, there may an error of up to 100 meters. We are always trying to improve our accuracy. If you have encountered a large error, please help us by sending an error report so we can improve!
