Ford C-Max Augmented Reality Billboards  This is where Augmented Reality in advertising moves from a cool, branded desktop experience to a marker-less, educational interaction.

JCDecaux’s 6 sheet mall spaces have been transformed into Augmented Reality billboards as part of the new Ford C-Max campaign in the UK. Each installation gets one of the new Panasonic D-Imager camera’s that actively measures the users real-time spatial depth (meaning you don’t need a marker to track position/depth) before mixing the 3D model / advertising experience into the Augmented Reality world.

I’m a big fan of backing up. Do it all the time. That’s why I’m intrigued by this Iomega Superhero iPhone Back-up solution. It’s basically a charger with an SD card built in. To use it, you have to download a free iPhone app, plug in the included 4GB memory card, and drop in your phone. The app allows you to back up your contacts and other personal info to the card and it charges the iPhone.

It also backs up your photos. Once you’ve installed the app, the entire process is automatic. It works with all of the iPhones and the iPod Touch. Regardless, it makes for a great way to backup your iPhone when you plug it in for the night and, I presume, that an IT person would like this for his or her charges, thus ensuring that if the iPod is never tethered it will at least be backed-up in some capacity.

Thefunken. The Browser You Loved to Hate I’m going to make a mess trying this. The Whiskey Water Trick. Jumping in and immediately starting to build the product, even if it does get completed and ship, is almost guaranteed to produce a mediocre product in which there is little innovation or market differentiation.

When you have only one kick at the can, the behaviour of the entire team and process is as predictable as it will be pedestrian. The fact that all of this is real is nuts. Push Pin David Ogilvy. One of my favorite things about designing software is that you can fuck something up real bad, but you’re always just a couple undos, redos, or tweaks away from a better solution.
