Top 6 Augmented Reality Mobile Apps [Videos] - 2 views

  •  
    A lot of excitement has been building around a category of iPhone and Android apps, most of which have yet to be approved or released. They are known as augmented reality apps. These applications combine virtual data into the physical real world by utilizing the iPhone 3GS or an Android phone's compass, camera, and GPS system. The result is that you can see things like the location of Twitter users and local restaurants in the physical world, even if they are miles away.

Descending Clouds - Society and Augmented Reality 101 | PERSONALIZE MEDIA - 1 views

  • It will create a web of layers, of parallel narratives and realities and enhance our experiences.
  • “Augmented reality allows people to visualize cyberspace as an integral part of the physical world that surrounds them, effectively making the real world clickable and linked,” says Dr. Paul E. Jacobs, chairman and CEO of Qualcomm.

  • As portable screens become practical (think iPad with camera), pervasive wearable computing becomes commonplace and surveillance technology evolves to being ubiquitous and transparent – society will evolve way ahead of government and law, who powerless to stop the flow of information on connected screens will be even more powerless to stop this flow moving into real space?

Augmented Reality 2010 Horizon Report - 2 views

  •  
    Augmented Reality is enhancing the world around us by using electronic devices to create a reality that is supplemented (or "augmented") with additional information. Sometimes this is location based (using GPS) or uses QR Codes (with QR code readers) and most often with handheld devices making this truly possible. These links are from the Horizon Report 2010.

Technology News: Privacy: The Trouble With Augmented Reality and Other Cool Tech - 2 views

    • Alix R
       
      this article brings up the downside of too much technology that could/will/is invading our privacy. It also mentions freedom of choice or customization. Most of the time when I thought of customization I thought of changing the color of something to My favorite color or re-writing something, or choosing how a teacher taught me to fit my learning style, etc... but this article brings up a valid point that collides new technology with privacy with customization. We are consumers and contributers to society should be able to choose what information we want shared with the world via facebook, twitter, Google Maps, etc. If augmented reality is going in a direction where it over lays our flickr photos onto the real world (Bing Maps) and allows us to view someones live video feed from the phone (Bing Maps) then we should chose whether we want that information shared or not....etc...

  • One of the biggest buzz words in technology at the moment is the idea of Augmented Reality or AR as it's become known to its friends. Smartphone users will know it through apps like Google Goggles or Street View on the G1, both of which involve waving your phone out in front of you and looking at the world on your 3-inch LCD display along with a few computerised annotations.
  • Without meaning any disrespect to Total Immersion and what they've done, they're essentially using AR as a marketing gimmick and none of it is particularly useful to the consumer sitting at home in front of their machine.
  • Of course, the other bonus of our new and improved pocket computers, rather than just their mobility and connectivity, is that they have more than just cameras to get a measure of their surroundings. There are microphones that can detect wind or sound, accelerometers for movement, digital compasses to tell which direction we're facing and proximity sensors as well. Now we're in a place where we can really experiment with AR on a personal level and explore our worlds in a whole new way.

  • The same is true in the class room. How much more informative and inspirational would be 3D graphic images or footage of the human body and its internal organs, muscles, bones and tissues in action on your device, rather than just flat and still on the page of a text book?
  • In fact, as futurologist and mobile service specialist, Tim Haysom of the Open Mobile Terminal Platform (OMTP) points out, the car has probably the most powerful potential AR devices out there at the moment.
  • Once such devices are in place, then the possibilities start to become mind-blowing. Within five years there's no reason why we shouldn't be out there jogging in our Nike Sport glasses, which bring up information on our heart rates, pulled in from sensors against our temples, and running times in front of our eyes as well as even adding a visual warning for pollen information if that's important too.

BMW Augmented Reality Glasses Help Average Joes Make Repairs | Popular Science - 0 views

  •  
    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).

Augmented Reality and mobile means there's no such thing as "normal" barcodes any more - 0 views

  •  
    One of the most common uses for them is on mobile devices. 2d barcodes like QR Code or Datamatrix can activate phone functions - they can create an SMS for you to send, or send your mobile browser to a particular website. The entire URL can be stored in a 2d code thanks to it's greater data storage.
