My favorite part of the billboard is that it’s made for when you’re stuck in traffic. I’m thinking the billboard is going to be mostly sad. Partnering with Tronic the billboard sits near the entrance to the Holland Tunnel and reads, ‘Today I’m Feeling _____’. Using a the GoldRun GPS augmented reality app, passerbys or [...]

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.

No more waiting for the lady in front of you to dig through her purse for twenty minutes to find all the [...]

I’m not sure when I’ll tire of concept videos. As long as they keep upping the ante, I’m in.

There’s always that one guy who posts “First!” on every comment thread. Total Immersion gets to be the lucky bloke to put the first augmented reality app onto the iPad2. And I for one salute them. The tablets are made for a better AR experience. While the magic mirror is strictly 2010 tech, I’m good [...]
