It’s been a busy summer for me, sorry for not posting the weekly linkfest in, well, a weekly manner. If you want more frequent updates from me, you should follow me on twitter
- Change your perspective with MirrorMap – an augmented reality application that lets you tap to near by CCTV cameras. I think they had a similar thing in Rainbows End.
- Interesting case study from Zugara on the ROI of e-commerce AR software: uniques up 841%, conversion rate rose by 4.2%!
- What AR can learn from the days of early cinema and the fine line between magical and gimmicky by Helen Papagiannis.
- Chauncey is the guy to follow on YouTube, here he is demoing his very own AR helmet. In other videos you can see him reviewing Vuzix gear.
- A revealing interview with Dr. Marco Feuerstein of TU Munich about AR surgery, and why it’s still not a viable option.
- Speaking of interviews, Toby held one about augmented reality for cultural institutions.
- Augmented Planet on AR and NFC. The wave of the future?
- A sneak peek to Layar Vision’s analytics tool
This week’s video comes to us via Etsuji Kameyama’s blog. I often complained about not having the AR equivalent of Angry Birds (ARAB). Well, we are not there yet, but Junaio now features a channel with the boids, enabling users to take picture with them. Even though it’s a wholly new media, still nobody likes the boomerang bird.
Have a great week!
