Another week passed by, and here we are again, at the weekly linkfest. Today on the linkfest:
- Juniper research is predicting that mobile augmented reality will by a $750 million industry by 2014, which is a lot more than the previous $350 million estimate by ABI research. Just a quick reminder – Twitter is valued at one billion dollars.
- Tish Shute preaching for Wave powered augmented reality infrastructure at Mobile Monday Amsterdam.
- Thomas Carpenter reveals Qualcomm’s plans to use face recognition to create augmented social networks.
- We had quite a few marketing campaigns this week:
- Target uses AR markers to spin a virtual wheel, but I wouldn’t call it augmented reality otherwise.
- InStyle magazine has an augmented version of its December cover (using Total Immersion’s tech).
- And more of Total Immersion – augmented albums for some Brit and French bands.
- Play with a virtual Dodge Avenger, I think it’s the first time anyone used augmented reality to sell a car [via Development Memo for Ourselves]
This week’s video is of a photo booth at Las Vegas that lets you try different hats. I just find this guy’s reactions really funny (and the augmentation is quite good) [via DMfO]
Have a great week!

“cant watch video in my country due to copyright restrictions”
It’s a retaliation for not letting me watch BBC nature shows from my country!
Darkflame and rouli haven’t look up spoofing your IP address or using a proxy server. You should have no problems watching anything you want.
Free proxi severs for video are nearly none existant.
And its just not worth paying.
Actually there is one way around it (hotspot shield) but I try to use it sparingly as I don’t want that getting blocked too ;)
Dont see why this video is restricted at all though… copywrited music perhaps?
