Using ixigo’s AR feature, iPhone users can accurately locate their coach position on railway platform

ixigo has introduced India’s first augmented reality (AR) feature on its trains app. The AR Coach Position feature will enable train travellers to accurately locate their coach positions for over 13,000 passenger trains at more than 7,000 railway stations across India.

With the Coach Position feature, iOS users using the iPhone 6+ and above just need to use their smartphone in order to have their coaches instantly categorized and labeled, thereby identifying how far away they are from their intended coach. ixigo’s AR feature leverages ARKit, Apple’s augmented reality (AR) technology toolkit, that delivers engaging experiences through the seamless blending of virtual objects with the real world.
