The last week of 2009 was quite a slow one, and having Thomas K. Carpenter join Games Alfresco, diminishes my list of resources even further. Nevertheless, here are some AR related news-bits that we haven’t covered this week:
- Just before moving to Games Alfresco, Thomas had the most exquisite, well researched review of 2009 in AR.
- Adweek has four alternatives to using webcam and Flash when using AR to promote your product (with examples).
- Augmented Planet on EyePly that are set to augment sport venues.
- One niche of AR browsers that’s getting crowded very fast, is ski-related browsers. Resort Technology Partners’ REALSKI is yet another of this kind with a neat business plan – each mountain map costs you another 99 cents.
- If you are living in Copenhagen, you can use Layar to see air pollution readings around you.
Now, if I get it right, Soho is a men magazine from Colombia that employed AR to boost its sales. Which is one step closer to my prediction about Playboy getting augmented. (via Design Memo for Ourselves)
Have a great week!

I’m really surprised that something like the Soho cover hasn’t come out sooner.
Saw this Augmented Reality piece and thought it might interest you. Pink Visual Productions puts the pornstar in the room with you:
