Mirage HMD Augmented Reality System
Posted on March 15, 2011 by thomaskcarpenter
The HMDs are here! The HMDs are here! Okay, maybe it’s not that exciting, especially when you realize that the Mirage from Arcane Technologies is not a stylish pair of glasses or even some retro steampunk goggles outfitted with AR HMD gear. The unit looks so bulky and bland that not even Lady Gaga could make it [...]

Is There Such a Thing as Pregnancy Induced Stupidity?
Posted on September 14, 2010 by rouli
warning – this is another one of my nasty posts. Reader discretion is advised. Is there such a thing as pregnancy induced stupidity? If you examine Simubaby‘s premise you might reach such a conclusion. How else would you justify its business model? Simubaby, the brain child of the Spanish Atlantis Virtual Reality is a commercial [...]

This post can be summarized by three magic terms: Augmented Reality Giant Robots Yahoo Japan Yes, it seems that the Japanese branch of Yahoo is much cooler than its American counter part.

Augmented Reality Farmville
Posted on June 29, 2010 by rouli
Addicted to Farmville? Have a green thumb but no garden? Envy real farmers but got allergies? The guys from TU Munich have the perfect solution for you: Augmented Farmville could be one heck of a layer for Layar/Junaio/Wikitude once better positioning is available. Think of the gold rush to get a virtual plot in major [...]

Augmented Reality Flash Mob
Posted on April 19, 2010 by rouli
If you happen to be in Amsterdam this Saturday (either because you live there or can’t get back home because your flight is canceled), you may want to check out the first AR flash mob.

This Post is Rated AR
Posted on January 11, 2010 by rouli
Very short post following my prediction that 2010 will be the inaugural year for augmented reality porn. A couple of days ago, AppScout reported about the latest venture in this area, Pink Visual’s AR Porn (NSFW link). Well, it’s porn all-right, but the AR is gimmicky at best.

First Augmented Building Spotted in Japan
Posted on January 7, 2010 by rouli
Augmenting reality using the GPS&Compass combo has become very popular in 2009, and has decent accuracy when used to augment distant big objects such as buildings. However, it won’t be terribly useful for augmenting specific floors within a building. Japanese Qosmo and Teradadesign Architects to the rescue. By covering the facade of Tokyo’s N Building [...]

Spads and Fokkers – Brainy AR
Posted on November 17, 2009 by rouli
I always enjoy featuring a hobbyist augmented reality project, and Davide Byron’s (aka @Need2Revolt) game “Spads and Fokkers” is especially pleasing. On the face of it, it doesn’t look anything special, two virtual planes having a dog fight, using a marker for easy augmented reality: The twist is in the method the user may exploit [...]

Even More Augmented Reality Business Cards
Posted on October 17, 2009 by rouli
(previously those and those) I’m doing some spring (it’s spring time in Australia*) cleaning in my bookmarks, that’s what I came with: Genuine Interactive came up with these augmented business cards for its staff, which have been named “the butterfly effect cards”. Thomas has dedicated a whole post for their demo. Visualcard.me on the other [...]
