About WAM : World Around Me
World Around Me - WAM is your local search guide.
World Around Me is a unique way to find useful places around you - such as restaurants, ATMs, pharmacies, groceries, doctors, shops, bus/metro stations and more. WAM uses your phone’s camera to give you a completely new way of exploring a place, anywhere in the world.
When you point the phone's camera in any direction, then you will see overlays of virtual signboards onto the camera view in that direction.
