Mountains in AR: 3 must-have iPhone apps

Spotting the mountain in front of you is not difficult. By their very definition, they are quite giant. Knowing which mountain you are looking at is another matter. But this trio of apps will show you the mountains in AR, so you'll know exactly which one you're looking at.

PeakFinder 

The application contains information about more than 350 thousand world peaks, from the imposing Mount Everest to the hill behind your barracks. Here, AR helps to project factual data onto real footage. Everything you might be interested in is displayed for each visible ridge - typographic profile, name, height, distance from you, or the coordinates of the peak itself. You can transfer to it with a single tap on the display.

PeakVisor 

This title tells you not only which mountain you are looking at, but also how to get there, where the slopes are, where the cable cars are, and where the best trails and paths are. It can also track the sun to tell you when you'll get the perfect mountain shots. Information is offered here in several forms. You can stick to labels only, but you can also use the terrain or silhouettes modes and apply e.g. routes and other useful data to the display.

Horizon Explorer 

Horizon Explorer shows you the horizon and panorama around you and tells you what you're looking at. It doesn't matter if you are in the lowlands, highlands, mountains or mountain ranges. Just point your camera at a hill, village, lake or landmark and the title will tell you what lies ahead, how far it is, and show you a map and information about where you're headed. It's not as nice and sophisticated as the previous two titles, but then again, this app doesn't just focus on those highlights, so you can use it anywhere.
