Nokia releases Place Tag beta for Windows Phone 8

Nokia has released the beta version of Place Tag, a camera lens app for Lumia devices running Windows Phone 8. The app uses the phone’s camera to reveal places within your photos. Place Tag helps you discover information about places within your photo by using Nokia’s LiveSight Technology. When you click a picture using Photo Tag, information about places is automatically shown at the bottom of the photo. Information about the places in Place Tag can also be used for location annotation by clicking on the associated squares. Essentially, you can label address information onto a clicked image. While City Lens only specialises in informing you about places nearby, Place Tag helps you see where exactly the picture has been clicked. The lens also helps you tag important landmarks such as museums and famous buildings.
