Hey there, seems like after a great AR summer and lots of news in late late summer, yielding and climaxing in the great ISMAR in Florida, we finally hit the summer slump for AR in 2009. Mostly new ads are popping up and some minor issues, but no revolution these days (well, it can’t happen all the time! ;-)). So […]

Just a short note. Today, metaio relaunched their website for their mobile social browser called junaio and made the app available in Apple’s AppStore. From metaio’s press release: junaio is a mobile and online platform that lets users create, explore and share information in a completely new way using augmented reality and location-based content. Users can place 3D objects, Twitter […]

Just wanted to point you to another demonstration of mobile augmented reality explained. New Zealand radio station Alpha96.1 did a short feature on the HITLab, who are researching in AR for a long time now. The clip is a short insight for any newbie to AR and they talk about the usage of AR on mobile phones. Due to my […]

The international symposium on mixed and augmented reality closed its doors after a week of augmented craziness. Thanks to the committee for organizing the event and holding it in Florida. I’m sure more and more videos will hit the Internet sooner or later, documenting a bit more of current state of the art augmented reality. And a clap on the […]

Cisco shows us their neat idea of a virtual mirror in the video below. I’d love to use it in a retail cloth store, but I’m afraid it’s only a marketing concept video, that points to their new technology conference. Some more videos can be seen on their website. If it were real, we would definitely have seen more footage […]

Earlier I reported on the unfortunate death of the AR android browser gamaray. The team of Clayton Lilly decided to stop the development and focus on other android/smartphone projects. Gamaray was the first open available android AR browser, that would superimpose 3D geometry to your view. Now the generous team has opened up their sources and put it all on […]

ISMAR is running and draws all attention and time. So, augmented reality blog postings are going down a bit for now, since everbody is just to busy being there physically. :-) As last year Ori Inbar writes a nice first impression collection on his website gamesalfresco. So I won’t quote from there, but encourage you to surf over to his […]

The International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality is the best place to get the latest news and tech demos for everything that is related to augmented reality. It should ring a bell by […]
