Nokia Point & Find is a free service that enables people on the move to access relevant information and services on the Internet, simply by pointing their mobile phone camera at a real life object. The service combines the first mobile augmented reality browser on S60 devices with a web-based content management tool that allows anyone to create and publish augmented reality experiences.
