Augmented reality in mono touch

I'm developing a typical "Windows GUI" based app for iPhone using MONO technologies. I need to add a little AR based functionality to it. It is just about opening up the camera, and showing information to the user regarding nearby businesses.

How can I do this using mono?

Of course it is possible. I have created a project and works very nice. It is quite complicated and I would need three pages to explain it and, the time to do it which I do not have.

In general, you need to look into:

  • CLLocationManager for location and compass.
  • MapKit, if you want to provide reverse geocoding information.
  • Implement an overlay view over the UIImagePickerController which will act as your canvas.
  • And of course, drawing.

I hope these guidelines will get you started.
