Pirates, Gestures, Fried Eggs and a Conspiracy!
Hi there,
today a compilation of interesting AR news for you to browse through!
To kick off, I’d like to mention the Conspiracy For Good, that kicked off in London last week. Hero’s creator Tim Kring created a viral marketing game with AR. Check out their website, download the app and read on the first impressions.
Second, another trial on gesture interaction comes from Spain (Sorry! from Catalunia!).
Third, Thomas interviews Staffan from Maxcware, who’s developing his own cheap AR goggles, since industry is just not taking the ball seriously, that’s been in their court for a while now. Staffan and his team are working on HMDs and you can contribute in their open source project! Worth a look!
Even more:
- Lego goes online with another AR demo, now for your living room. Not inside the store!
- DigitalUrban shows some neat graffiti in the street. Maybe once we all wear sleek HMDs, we will be able to experience AR-graffiti like this?
- iphone 4 OS is ready to have real visual based tracking, another demo
- Or maybe play a pirate game with your mobile phone and magic marker markers! :-)
- Forgot to buy eggs for breakfast? Augment them!
So, enjoy! :-)
