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 [...]

Don’t get me wrong, Alliban’s card is cool, but this one is a bit more useful: It was created by Jonas Jäger, and more importantly, he doesn’t plan to keep the technology to himself. Jäger [...]

Dutch website (what’s with all those Dutch companies lately?) YouTellMe.com, which specializes in social shopping online (e.g. recommendation engines) has just launched a new augmented reality application, letting you see how your favorite electronic products look like in the palm of your hand (or in your living room).

Sein has just posted a new video on his blog (in Japanese, though an English version is apparently in the workings). I think it’s really amazing what one man can do on his own: I’ve covered SREngine before, and so did Ori, and from video to video you could really see how this application takes [...]
