I’m a bit sleepy today, so please excuse any increase in grammar mistakes. The augmented reality Korean unification project is an interesting little art/political project leveraging the power of erasAR. What other sights would you like to erase using augmented reality? Congrats to the guys at Zugara for being the first (afaik) AR clothing application [...]

I watched this talk by Kevin Slavin at Mobile Monday Amsterdam three times already (which explains why it took me so long to post it here), and I still can’t understand what are his issues with augmented reality. One claim is obvious, and I tend to agree, that immersion is neither necessary nor sufficient for [...]

And since it’s pretty big news (and Layar is a darling of the tech press) you probably already read about it somewhere else. Here’s what you need to know: Documentation is here. Android Beta version is coming in a few weeks. iPhone and Android full versions are coming by the end of Q3. Seems like [...]

Slow week, or am I at fault for not paying attention to the augmentosphere? Qualcomm releases an iOS version of their AR SDK. I guess now I’m left out of excuses for not developing any AR app on my own. Face detection is coming in iOS5, but will be probably used only to make “funny” [...]

If you missed it, we’ve got it, in this week’s linkfest: Users not waking up to augmented reality mobile apps (via @jack_benott). Here’s an interesting quote: Augmented reality “needs to move away from the “pull” model of using the camera to pull AR data to a “push” model where consumers can receive AR data in [...]

Imagine for a moment how would it be like to replace your sense of vision with the point cloud generated by Kinect, which in turn is controlled by your arduino glove. Thanks to designer Maxence Parache you don’t need to imagine such a scenario anymore Hyper(reality) – The Last Tuesday Society from Maxence on Vimeo. [...]

Well, I’m pretty sure the guys at 13th Lab will get mad at me for comparing them to Layar. Most importantly, they don’t consider themselves as an augmented reality company. They view themselves as a computer vision company, and AR only serves as a cool proof of concept for their technology. And what exactly is [...]

Oh my, what an interesting week for augmented reality, especially in the business front: Nokia Beta Labs revealed Live View, a revolutionary mobile augmented reality application. Well, unless you consider Wikitude, Layar, Junaio and many other “AR browsers” that came out in the last three years. Nokia was once a leader in AR research, it’s a [...]

Augmented reality is to be promoted to the premier league. The English premier league that is. Tottenham Hotspur will sport the logo of AR platform Aurasma during the 2011-2012 season, starting next month. Which is quite an interesting development, you must admit, especially considering that the company behind Aurasma, Autonomy, has decided to forgo its [...]

How are terracotta warriors, billiard, a coloring book and the city of Basel all related to each other? Well… they are featured in this week’s linkfest: Augmented reality glasses decipher emotional cues from other people, increase emotional intelligence. While other, concept, glasses strive to make those cues more visible (but since it’s not AR, it’s cheating). [...]
