Augmented reality: iPhone 3G S killer app? | Crave - CNET - 0 views

  • Augmented reality: iPhone 3G S killer app?
  • Layar takes the sort of GPS POI data in current map-based apps, like ATMs, houses for sale, or nearby hotspots, and displays them overlaid on the landscape as seen through the camera lens.
  • A magnetometer, used to power Apple's compass app and future turn-by-turn navigation software in the 3G S, would also be necessary (Android phones have compasses already).

Is Augmented Reality Garbage or Golden? - 0 views

  • technology that displays layers of data on top of our view of physical reality through mobile phone cameras, projected images and webcams.
  • AR browsers like Layar and Wikitude are like Gopher was in 1991 -- early, geeky, not a lot of content, not a great experience...but watch what happens next.
  • It confirms to me there are no useful AR apps right now, and also that the feasible apps are very limited, because they all seem kind of similar to one another.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • It's just so much easier for me to use an ordinary browser map application and see all the locations of interest for any conceivable query than to mess around with a phone's camera.
  • you really need a lightweight high-res infinite-battery HMD with meter-accuracy location for it to make much sense to me -- snapping photos through a cellphone and looking at crappy low-res decorations on the result seems very weak to me, especially given the error scale of GPS
  • there may be some special purpose AR apps in the short term that are useful and effective for narrow uses
  • low-tech AR

    Nice video, "mash-up" of "on-line" data made available while on the moove but what is the advantage of AR on a mobile for this type of use versus this information being read on a a simple (google) map on your iphone?
