While I’m probably not going to be playing Balloon Burst from Popcode obsessively like I do Civ 5 on the PS3, the game is much better than the floating pixel games of six months ago (I’m looking at you Firefighter 360.)

But first, let’s see what’s going on in the scene. W. Lee, Y. [...]

First, and foremost, I owe an apology to Total Immersion which I criticized for having an invitation only event (AR-Immersion). They have kindly reminded me that their event is free of charge, unlike other similar events. Anyway, you can ask for an invitation here. Now that this is behind us, here are other things that [...]

It’s a good sign that a comedian can do jokes about augmented reality and still be funny, including the minor tech fail. Still, we’re a long way from Conan whipping out the funny, but I’m encouraged. What’s next? A Thursday night sitcom based on AR?

ISMAR 2010 is just a couple of days away, and in the meantime, here’s this week’s linkfest: Google Goggles is finally available for the iPhone. To be frank, I haven’t tried it yet (what kind of AR reporter am I), and I’m rooting for the underdogs. LightSpace from Microsoft Research – augmenting a room with [...]
