The WIKITUDE API is a powerful application programming interface which allows for the open development of markerless AR experiences, providing developers with the tools to either create their own android augmented reality applications, or enhance their existing Android applications with an AR camera-view engine.

DOWNLOAD WIKITUDE API

1st: Download Wikitude API package
The WIKITUDE API package includes the following:The Wikitude Java API; javadocs; documentation and a sample application.
Android API
iPhone API

2nd: Register your Wikitude API AR-Application

REGISTER YOUR AR APPLICATION

If you have developed your own AR application with the WIKITUDE API you can register and receive and API key here: (After registration the API key sent to you will remove the “BETA” watermarking overlay on the camera-view.)

    Hello Nicola!

    I’ve been trying to run an application in the Android’s Emulator that
    uses the Wikiude API, but until now I had not success with it.

    I followed the steps found in the Documentation of
    the API, but even with the all steps executed perfect, my application
    and Wikitude didn’t work yet (I have already installed the Market and
    the Wikitude in the emulator).

    When I run my application the message that is shown to me is “The
    application Wikitude (process com.mobilizy.wikitude15 has stopped
    enexpectedly…)”, and when I run the WikiTude browser application in
    emulator it asks me to set location settings. I enabled “Enable GPS
    satellites” option & run the application, again it make an alert for
    location settings.

    I tried the demo app (BasicOpenARDemoActivity) too, but it throwed the same message that my appicltaion throwed.

    So, can you give me other tips?

    Thanks and sorry for my English.

    Hello Nicola!
    I face problems testing the API with the latest Wikitude version.
    I installed the latest version of Wikitude World Browser available (4. build 9.0) on my htc (platform 2.1-update). When I run the demo app (BasicOpenARDemoActivity) , it does not crash, however, no customized icons nor titlebars are displayed in ARView.
    That’s a pity, as I am particularely interested in testing the 3D-AR support of the API.

    Could you give me a hint?
    Is there something I missed, or are there any known issues regarding API and Wiktude version?

    Thanks, Stefanie

    Hi Stefanie,
    Unfortunately we had to disable the customized icons and titlebars in the current version. We’ll keep you updated on this issue and it will be back in with one of the next versions.
    If you need anything further please contact me.
    Thx and greetings

    Hi,

    My app now is not working, with the latest wikitude update, the api key was rejected?? Is there anything I did wrong? I tried to look into the license agreement to comply and instead found a 404?

    Any ideas?

    Best,
    Tista

    Seeing the logcat results, it seems the WikitudeARIntent can’t find the following file and causes an exception:

    08-08 13:41:47.087: WARN/System.err(10639): java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/data/com.wikitude/files/wcck.data (No such file or directory)

    Hi Christina and Wikitude Staff.

    Thanks for the great API. I’m new to building downloaded iPhone sample apps and ran into a few configuration problems. I wrote up the fixes in a blog post.

    hello, recently i use wikitude api for iphone 1.0.4
    now i see that the iphone version is 1.0.5
    what is the change?
    could you provide a change log?

    Also I got a problem when implement this api in iphone ios4.
    Because of the multitask, if there are many app run on the background, (which is always alot since when u quit any app, they are sent to background) the pois is not shows, and get a memory warning log.
    and after i clear all the background, the poi is show again. It took me sometime to figure out why. Some if it happen, i think the API should provide more clear message.

    Regarding the changes:

    Hi Sakshi,
    Thx for your interest in our Android API. Yes the API can be used in every country of the World. You just need to add the points you wish to display to cam view as described in the documentation of the API package.
    If you need anything further, just let me know.

    Hi James,
    Have you updated to the latest Wikitude Version available in the Market? If I understand you correctly the application shows that your key is invalid, is that right? We will have a look at this.
    Greetings

    hi Nicola
    Yes, I updated the program to the latest version 9.02, but before the application of the key input when it also appeared that this key is not available, ask where the problem is

    Hi James,
    Could you send me your key information and how you initialize the WikitudeIntent (nicola.radacher(at)mobilizy.com), so I can check where the problem is.
    Thx
    Nicola
