WT International works on cutting edge of technological innovation and media. After becoming the worlds first agency to launch Layar, the first augmented reality browser, the agency now has a new first; today, the first augmented reality platform in Russia, for telecoms provider MTS, was launched on: http://red.mts.ru/newreality/.

The video below shows JWT International experimenting in combining QR Codes with the Layer augmented reality platform.

Wikitude bzw. Augmented Reality ist eine wirklich unglaubliche Technologie und noch dazu im Prinzip so simpel.

Today, I was very excited when Thomas Wrobel sent me a draft of, "Everything Everywhere: A proposal for an Augmented Reality Network system based on existing protocols and infrastructure." Thomas has kindly agreed to let me publish his draft, to open a discussion on this topic. The diagram opening this post (click image to enlarge) shows, "An example of how collaborative 3D-spaces could be shared over existing IRC networks." It is from Thomas' proposal. The full text of his paper is included later in this post.

Wikitude is number 6 in this lineup id ar applications. Very subjective selection process.

A lot of excitement has been building around a category of iPhone and Android (Android) apps, most of which have yet to be approved or released. They are known as augmented reality apps.

Apple won't let augmented reality apps into the iPhone App Store. Why? The answer might be patent application number 20090175499, called "Systems and methods for identifying objects and providing information related to identified objects". The first claim in the application is a doozy: A method of providing a user with information related to an object in real time comprising: identifying the object with a portable electronic device; establishing a communications channel with an external source; searching for information related to the identified object on the external source, acquiring the information via the communications channel; and enabling the user to access at least a portion of the information on the portable electronics device.

As a pioneer in the area of augmented reality technology, metaio develops software products for systems driven by visual interaction in both real and virtual worlds. Our Unifeye software platform not only lets you place 3D animations directly into live video streams, but also supports the seamless integration of images from the external user environment.

Mashable reports on a discovery that the latest update to the iPhone application from popular business establishment review site Yelp [App Store, Free] contains an augmented reality easter egg called "Monocle" that allows users to view business ratings overlayed on a video stream from their iPhone's camera. The feature is only compatible with the iPhone 3GS, which contains the necessary digital compass for properly assessing the device's orientation.

Several sources reported yesterday that the latest updates to the app Metro Paris Subway had (99 cents, iTunes link) appeared on the iTunes App Store, bringing it up to version 3.0. Amongst many nice new and updated features, this version also brings augmented reality to the iPhone, officially, for the first time.

JWT International has been proposing and developing fun Augmented Reality applications for some time, Layar however is completely new. It is the one application that separates the role of the smart phone from the desktop/laptop and really sets a new standard in smart phone applications and the way in which brands can communicate and engage with customers.

Unifeye Mobile is a glimpse of the (virtual/real) future - through the viewfinder of your cell phone's camera! With Unifeye Mobile, metaio is developing the first fully-integrated Augmented Reality software for mobile devices.

The browser uses awesome 3D navigation which you can see as you spin around. There is local data from property companies and big name brands which is represented in an augmented reality view. Holding it flat jumps to a Google maps view and when you spin around so does the browser to make sure you know where everything is in orientated.

This is a video of the first beta version of TwittARound - an augmented reality Twitter viewer on the iPhone 3GS.

This is a video of the first beta version of TwittARound - an augmented reality Twitter viewer on the iPhone 3GS. It shows live tweets around your location on the horizon. Because of video see-through effect you see where the tweet comes from and how far it is away.

This is one list of reading relating to augmented reality.

Nokia Working on "Augmented Reality" for Mobile Phones

A new report from Juniper Research has found that the market for mobile augmented reality (AR) services is expected to reach $732 million by 2014, with revenues derived from a combination of paid-for app downloads, subscription based services and advertising.

The most interesting update to Mobilizy's mobile augmented reality offering is the relaunch and full integration of the Wikitude.me platform with the browser. Wikitude.me is a socially-aware geotagging site where you can log in with an existing Facebook (Facebook), Twitter (Twitter), Google (Google) or Yahoo account and add location-based information that other users will be able to access later at that same spot.
