How Will You Protect Your Customer’s Data Exhaust?

Last week on The Future Digital Life, I posted about the Dangers of Computer Vision.  The post garnered a fair amount of interest but it is a question that’s a tad ahead of its time.  We don’t have cameras greedily sucking up information by the bucketfuls right now. But we do have GPS for our [...]

Traveller AR – iPhone RPG

Traveller AR is an upcoming iPhone AR RPG (whew, that’s a mouthful) that has released a beta and a brief video.  The game is based on an old RPG, basically D&D in the stars. Traveller-AR uses iPhone’s Augmented Reality to: See a virtual 3D world over-layed on the real world through the window of your [...]

Poll – What Was The Most Significant Happening For AR In 2010?

Cue forward almost one year exactly, in a strange twist of [...]

iPhone 3GS vs iPhone 4 For Augmented Reality

Aside from the antenna problems, its nice to see incremental improvements on magic lens augmented reality.

First Image Processing iPhone AR App in AppStore

Now I can’t guarantee that it’s the first, but it’s a start.  The Faces app comes from Pixelshed and is available in the AppStore right now. Make fun of your friends by putting new faces on their heads and share these images via email and Facebook. Point your iPhone towards your friend’s face and a magical [...]

Gigaputt – Augmented Reality Golf

Make the world your golf course. That’s the tagline of the new iPhone app Gigaputt from Gigantic Mechanic.  Instead of clubs, you swing your iPhone in a Wii-like manner (though the accuracy is no where near the same) and hit your ball.  Unlike most AR iPhone games, this one actually requires you to interact with [...]
