New York Looksee AR

Looksee is an augmented reality viewer used to find places of interest directly on your phone camera's screen and add fun, knowledge and interest to your adventures and tours.

Once the app is downloaded no further wi-fi or cellular network connection is needed in order for it to work, so you can use it when out and about where there is no signal coverage.

This version is for New York and locates places in and around New York City Center and the much wider New York Area including North Eastern parts of New Jersey, Southern Connecticut and the entire Long Island. In fact the area covered encompasses a rectangle from the West in East Brunswick and Red Bank in the South to Danbury in the North and Fisher Island in the East. This is an area of 11,500 sq miles (30,000 km2).

All towns and districts within the region are covered including: Bridgeport, Bronx, Brooklyn, Hempstead, Manhattan, Newark, New Haven, New London, Norwalk, Queens and Woodbury.

In fact there are around 20,000 places of interest viewable within the App including the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Staten Island and many other scenes not only within Manhattan but everywhere within the Greater New York area.

Categories that can be viewed and selected include Tourist Attractions, Hills, Lakes, Parks & Woodlands, Cities, Towns, Suburban Areas, Villages & Hamlets, Airports, Train & Major Bus Stations, Municipal Buildings, Places of Worship, Historic Sites, Tall Buildings, Man-made structures (such as bridges, dams and Tunnels), Natural features and Museums & Arts.
