Hi ProductHunt community! First of all, huge thanks to @kwdinc for hunting us! PeakVisor is an augmented reality app which answers the most common question in the mountains. What that mountain is?! Probably, it will be able to answer other questions soon ;-) Here’s how it works: 1. You point the phone camera at mountains 2. PeakVisor labels all the peaks 3. PeakVisor renders semi-transparent terrain model, so you could adjust & calibrate phone sensors That's it! Here are some details about our PeakVisor journey (a quick read): https://medium.com/@denivipmedia... We’d love to hear your comments and feedback! Thank you!

@denivipmedia in what counties does this work?
Denis Bulichenko
@narek_vardanyan It works in all the countries. At least if there are mountains.
Denis Bulichenko
@narek_vardanyan here is a map of all the peaks on the Earth (which we know) :-)
Narek Vardanyan
@denivipmedia thanks, I will use it :)
Vladislav Protasov
Looks nice! It would be great to show some other information as well. Obviously, mountain huts :) Maybe major attractions. Have you thought about that? Any plans?
Denis Bulichenko
@flighthack We plan to add mountain huts in the next release (a couple of weeks from now). Didn't think about attractions, but I agree that it might be interesting to see some special things. For example, here in Europe we often have castles in the mountains and it might be useful to see them as well.

Looking forward to test this in on android ;-) ! Congrats for being (almost) featured in Forbes and the New York Times ;-)

Also, there's a small typo on the image of your homepage, it's not the "Dent Blance" but the "Dent Blanche".
Denis Bulichenko
@pbriod ooops... I think this should have been hidden from the website :-) Praying they fix it soon :-)
Denis Bulichenko
@pbriod So true. Luckily, in the app database it is spelled correctly. Only Photoshop wasn't aware in this case :-)
Denis Bulichenko
@pbriod Please send me an email on denis@routes.tips is you'd like to be one of the first to get the Android version. It should be ready in several weeks.
Pascal Briod
@denivipmedia I actually really like the quotes, it's a bold move, but I like it ;-)

No more relying on my mountaineering father to school me! haha. Great looking product, definitely gonna give it a whirl. Only see meters in vid and pics. Is there an option to change for us yanks to use ft?
Denis Bulichenko
@jaicrum Thank you! Your father would love to have such a solid confirmation ;-)
Denis Bulichenko
@jaicrum We use the distance units as they are setup in phone system settings (locale). General -> Language & Region - > Region Formats. If you have the US there when you will see ft. Could it be that you have any other country in that place?
Jairet Crum
@denivipmedia Gotcha, currently in Brazil and configs are set for here to help me practice Portuguese :)
Denis Bulichenko
@jaicrum Well, then it will help you a little bit with metrics system as well. Which is quite popular in the countries where they speak Portuguese :-)

Guess Apple'll release it later this year. 🔝
Denis Bulichenko
@ivandothetrick Hopefully, they would release API or at least would talk to us :-))) But, there are some risks definitely...
Jeremy Zykorie
Very cool product. I'll have limited use cases, but will probably download next time I'm in the mountains.
Denis Bulichenko
@jeremyz123 We hope to extend use-cases over time. A.e. most of the cities have observation decks at the top of skyscrapers, towers, etc. So, we will be showing major attractions from there.
Jeremy Zykorie
@denivipmedia makes too much sense! Basically, ultimately you can become the AR version of a google maps... which as a map fan is pretty cool.
Denis Bulichenko
@jeremyz123 oh yes, there are so many things possible, especially after inevitable hardware improvements (more precise and stable magnetometers, accelerometer, gyroscope).
Oleksandr Komarevych
Cool, Thanks Denis for such interesting product!
Pravin Singh
Looks nice @denivipmedia ..
Denis Bulichenko
@pravin0322 Thank you! We worked hard... There's a ton of rocket science inside :-)
Steve
No more having to hunt through Google Maps to figure out what mountain I'm looking at!
Denis Bulichenko
@steveshugg Yep, we believe this is a more natural way of understanding what is around.
Tim Raiter
I was looking for solution like this many times! Congrats)
Denis Bulichenko
@timraiter Thank you! Happy to serve :-) Your feedback is always welcome.
