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.

We are doing our small part to encourage the nascent mobile AR community to grow and develop. We REALLY want to help improve and enhance how people interact with information in real-life contexts and situations.

Great move anyway. I’ll start developing right now.

When I unzip the wikitude_api_1_0.zip (444kb), RAR software shows that this file is damged. How can I solve this problem?
I’ve downloaded that file in many times, and always get the same message.
