Konstruct

Verbally constructed art. I’m a complete fumble fingers when it comes to drawing, so letting my whistle do the drawing sounds like a “Winning!” to me. Konstruct is brought you by James Alliban, the same guy who made AR business cards and AR Ribbons. It is a sound reactive AR experience for the iPhone that [...]

Location Based Coupons with Junaio

Locoupons? Straight outta the box this one seems pretty boring until you think about how well Groupon is doing.  Plus, the people *behind* the person with the Junaio based coupons will be happy.  No more waiting for the lady in front of you to dig through her purse for twenty minutes to find all the [...]

Weekly Spring-Time Linkfest

The spring is here (unless you live below the equator, and somehow don’t fall off the face of the earth), and it brings some great links (and allergens) : Librarian’s dream app – researchers from Miami University created an augmented reality meets mobile application to help keep books ordered on libraries’ shelves. Beats me why [...]

Utopian AR Concept Video

I’m not sure when I’ll tire of concept videos.  As long as they keep upping the ante, I’m in. This one treats AR as a private little wonderland without intrusion from a world trying to get you to buy stuff.  I’m all for the Utopian vision, but I expect the corporate spam-mongers to find ways into our [...]

Nintendo 3DS Hacked, Shows Augmented Reality 3D Anime Boobies

Well, the title says it all, and this video shows it all, but if you are clamoring for more detail, check out Japanator.com

Weekly Augmented Reality Linkfest

Wow, this is my 400th post. Can’t believe I kept on blogging for so long. Whats the ROI of AR, and other questions in Zugara’s guide to augmented reality for marketers. According to Fast Company, augmented reality may be the killer app for iPad2 (via @Layar). Cool ad for Axe/Lynx body spray puts a scantily [...]

More AR HMD News – Laster Technologies

I’ve been trying to get information from Laster Technologies on their AR glasses for about half a year.  Then today, a little video popped up on YouTube showcasing their glasses.  I don’t know much more about them other than what’s shown in the video, and I suspect the visuals we’re seeing on screen aren’t what [...]

Popping Zits in Augmented Reality

Hands down, this is the weirdest augmented reality game I encountered. Clic&Spot by French company Clic&Gain, is a game that adorns your face with virtual zits and challenge you to burst them as quickly as you can. Who wouldn’t this premise enticing? The game is based on Total Immersion’s technology, and there’s even an iPad [...]

Mirage HMD Augmented Reality System

The HMDs are here! The HMDs are here! Okay, maybe it’s not that exciting, especially when you realize that the Mirage from Arcane Technologies is not a stylish pair of glasses or even some retro steampunk goggles outfitted with AR HMD gear.  The unit looks so bulky and bland that not even Lady Gaga could make it [...]
