      The sentence briefly describes the definition of gesture based computing.
  • A number of mobile applications use gestures. Mover lets users flick files from one phone to another; Shut Up, an app from Nokia, silences the phone when the user turns it upside down; nAlertme, an antitheft app, sounds an alarm if the phone isn't shaken in a specific, preset way:

    "Augmented reality will allow Frijj customers to interact with the brand by holding up a bottle in front of a webcam to gain access to a real- time environment. A Frijj Swamp Soccerette then appears to climb out of the bottle and perform an on-screen cheer." An interesting take on commercial use of AR.

  • Such encounters are becoming increasingly difficult. With a growing number of people turning to Kindles and other electronic readers, and with the Apple iPad arriving on Saturday, it is not always possible to see what others are reading or to project your own literary tastes. You can’t tell a book by its cover if it doesn’t have one.

    Interesting observations are happening about the need for the cover of a book with so many people reading ebooks the cover is less important.

    BMW have developed a concept for AR glasses that can assist their own mechanics in performing maintenance on the company's high-performance cars. The glasses read the field of view, point out the part that needs replacing, the screw that needs turning, or the cap that needs tightening (and even tells users which way to turn it).

    Open content could become more mainstream in higher education this year. The movement holds great potential for the higher education space where the New Media Consortium (NMC)--which publishes The Horizon Report annually in collaboration with Educause Learning Initiative--identifies it as a trend whose adoption rate will be one year or less.

  • It is also notable because the projector essentially turns any surface into an interactive screen.

  • for example, if he picks up a can of soup in a grocery store, SixthSense can find and project onto the soup information about its ingredients, price, nutritional value -- even customer reviews.

  • Layar then shows information about restaurants or other sites in the area, overlaying this information on the phone's screen.
  • Using your phone's GPS and compass, Monocle will display information about local restaurants, including ratings and reviews, on your cell phone screen.
  • Urbanspoon
  • Wikitude,
  • Yelp's Monocle
  • Wikipedia
  • Underlying most of these applications are a phone's GPS and compass; by knowing where you are, these applications can make sure to offer information relevant to you. We're still not quite at the stage of full-on image recognition, but trust us, people are working on it.
  • Total Immersion
  • makes software that applies augmented reality to baseball cards.
  • Move the card in your hands -- make sure to keep it in view of the camera -- and the 3-D figure on your screen will perform actions, such as throwing a ball at a target.
  • Consider a scavenger-hunt game that uses virtual objects. You could use your phone to "place" tokens around town, and participants would then use their phones (or augmented-reality enabled goggles) to find these invisible objects.
  • There's a "human Pac-Man" game that allows users to chase after each other in real life while wearing goggles that make them look like characters in Pac-Man.
  • Arcane Technologies
  • An AR-enabled head-mounted display could overlay blueprints or a view from a satellite or overheard drone directly onto the soldiers' field of vision.
  • has sold augmented-reality devices to the U.S. military.
  • Augmented reality still has some challenges to overcome. For example, GPS is only accurate to within 30 feet (9 meters) and doesn't work as well indoors, although improved image recognition technology may be able to help [source: Metz].
  • People may not want to rely on their cell phones, which have small screens on which to superimpose information.

  • There is such a thing as too much information.
  • ust as the "CrackBerry" phenomenon and Internet addiction are concerns
  • an overreliance on augmented reality could mean that people are missing out on what's right in front of them.

      So could Augmented Reality take away the need for some jobs?
  • privacy concerns. Image-recognition software coupled with AR will, quite soon, allow us to point our phones at people, even strangers, and instantly see information from their Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, LinkedIn or other online profiles. With most of these services people willingly put information about themselves online, but it may be an unwelcome shock to meet someone, only to have him instantly know so much about your life and background.

      this is where customization comes in. Since we share information that anyone can see on the internet about us, then is there a problem with someone viewing that information upon meeting us? Since they could have access to it anyway....So those who do not want their information viewed by certain people should have the option to become "unlisted" or to clock the information form being viewed by certain people, just as Facebook allows for us to do in their privacy settings. people will be able to customize what information they are allowing others to have access to upon meeting them.
  • Despite these concerns, imagine the possibilities: you may learn things about the city you've lived in for years just by pointing your AR-enabled phone at a nearby park or building.
  • If you work in construction, you can save on materials by using virtual markers to designate where a beam should go or which structural support to inspect.
  • Paleontologists working in shifts to assemble a dinosaur skeleton could leave virtual "notes" to team members on the bones themselves,
  • artists could produce virtual graffiti
  • octors could overlay a digital image of a patient's X-rays onto a mannequin for added realism.
