Bring your venues to life with Augmented Reality

Situm’s Augmented Reality navigation

Situm’s AR module transforms traditional navigation into an immersive visual experience. Using the smartphone camera, users follow a 3D dynamic arrow showing them the direction to follow, see real-world POIs overlaid on their phisical locations, and interact with themed 3D objects—making navigation more intuitive, engaging, and fun.

Ideal for airports, hospitals, shopping centers, campuses, and more, Situm AR adds a new layer to digital wayfinding.

Key Features

Situm’s AR is designed to enhance navigation with an immersive experience that blends awersome 3D animations with the real world around you. Integrated into our Visual Mobile SDKs, AR-based navigation works out of the box on compatible Android and iOS devices with built-in motion sensors and cameras.

Smart Search

Guide users visually with in-context directions.

  • Smooth transition from map to AR: Users can toggle between the 2D/3D map and AR view at any time.
  • Arrow-based guidance: A floating arrow shows the direction and leads the way through the venue.
  • 3D destination marker: A virtual object or icon appears at the destination for better spatial orientation.

Augmented POIs (Points of Interest)

Make POIs stand out with immersive visualization.

  • AR-labeled POIs: See real POIs (shops, restrooms, meeting rooms…) displayed as floating icons through the camera.
  • Customized appearance: Each POI can have a specific icon, name, or graphic tailored to the venue.

3D Thematic Experiences

Go beyond wayfinding—create memorable journeys.

  • Thematic 3D objects: Place interactive, animated 3D models (e.g. mascots, sculptures, planes, dinosaurs…) across your venue.
  • Area-based triggers: Objects can pop up in certain zones or along user paths, based on movement.
  • Custom designs supported: Work with Situm to create tailored AR objects aligned with your brand or event.

Easy Integration

Just like other Situm features, AR navigation is seamlessly embedded in your app.

  • Simple setup: Uses Situm’s positioning + built-in phone sensors, no need for extra infrastructure like QR codes or image markers.
  • Mobile SDK support: Android & iOS native (React Native, Flutter, Cordova, Capacitor available upon request).
  • Works offline: Once downloaded, AR assets work without internet.

Situm AR makes navigation more engaging and memorable—for users and brands alike.

  • Great for promotions & tourism: Perfect for guided tours, product placements, and marketing campaigns.
  • Boost user engagement: Users pay more attention and explore more with visual guidance.
  • Enhance venue branding: Turn ordinary spaces into themed, interactive tours.
  • Support accessibility: Use visual cues for users who prefer non-verbal guidance.

Augmented Reality FAQs

What do I need to use AR navigation?

You only need an Android or iOS device compatible with ARCore/ARKit, respectivelly, and of course with camera and orientation sensors. Mostly any iPhone will be compatible, and most Androids as well (although we recommend mid-to-high end Android phones for best performance).

How does Situm guide users with AR?

Situm displays a real-time arrow pointing toward the destination, along with a virtual marker at the end of the route. Users can switch between the AR view and map view at any time.

Can I view POIs using augmented reality?

Yes. When pointing the camera, users will see floating POIs in the real-world view, each with a custom icon.

Can I include custom 3D objects in the AR experience?

Yes. Situm allows you to include custom 3D themed objects, either static or animated. These can enhance wayfinding, gamification, or venue branding (e.g. sculptures, characters, logos…).

Does AR work offline?

Yes. Once maps and 3D assets are downloaded to the device, the full AR experience can function without an internet connection.

How can I try Situm AR?

Contact us and we’ll provide you access to our AR demo app so you can try it.

Is AR compatible with Flutter or React Native apps?

Situm AR is provided for native Android / iOS apps, but can also be integrated into Flutter, React Native, Cordova and Capacitor. Please ask us how!
