Pointing Based Search Solution for Mobile Phones Debuts

Today, GeoVector Corporation and Japan's Mapion, owned by CyberMap Japan, launched Mapion Local Search for mobile phones in Japan, reports Wireless IQ.

"Similar to using a mouse to click on a computer screen to access information, users can now "Click on the Real World" using their mobile phone. With Mapion Local Search, users can walk down virtually any street in Japan and point at over 700,000 buildings, retailers, restaurants, banks, or historical sites to instantly retrieve information on what they are looking at, or find what they are looking for just by pointing their phone."

... A demonstration of the technology is available online at http://www.GeoVector.com
