At the event itself, the team took a moment to show me a different demo illustrating how new hardware and chipsets provided by their partnership with ST Ericsson, will greatly improve the reliability and performance of AR rendering on mobile devices. If you’ve ever messed around with AR software you will recognize the tracking speed improvement on the moving target in this video.

Just In Time For SXSW, Foursquare Ups The Game And Adds Recommendations
We’re now just days away from SXSW. And a service that launched there two years ago and made a name for itself last year, is aiming to make another splash this year: Foursquare . The service will tonight launch an updated version of their app, 3.0, which will contain a number of feature upgrades. Chief among them: a new “Explore” section, new types of deals, and a revamped leaderboard for points earned in the app.Augmented reality isn’t always totally pointless. Sorry if you think it’s hugely useful to see an augmented view of tweets around you just by holding up your phone, but I like to find slightly more advanced applications using the technology. One such app, MagicPlan , fits that description. From the two-year old startup Sensopia , the MagicPlan iOS app is rolling out version 2.0 of its floor plan capturing application today, which allows you to hold up your phone then scan the dimensions of the room to create an instant floor plan. → Read More

Yobongo: Forget What Your Parents Said About Not Talking To Strangers
Believe it or not, in the 1990s, it used to be considered fun to go into a chat room on the Internet and talk to complete strangers. We all did it, if only to see what exactly was going on out there. The fundamental idea of being able to connect instantly with anyone around the world is an interesting one. Then spammers, creeps, and weirdos came and ruined everything. This is something Caleb Elston has been thinking about for a while. Finally, this past October, he had fully fleshed out the idea for what he wanted to do, so he left his job as VP of Product at Justin.tv to start Yobongo .

Situationist App By Benrik
Questionnaire What is Situationist? Situationist is an iPhone app that makes your everyday life more thrilling and unpredictable. It alerts members to each other's proximity and gets them to interact in random "situations". These situations vary from the friendly "Hug me for 5 seconds exactly" or "Compliment me on my haircut", to the subversive eg "Help me rouse everyone around us into revolutionary fervour and storm the nearest TV station".Media/Marketing nieuws: Altijd happy hour met locatiediensten

Facebook Suggests You Lie, Break Its Own Terms Of Service To Kee
Here’s a new one. As Facebook continues to grapple with the negative press over its privacy overhaul , it’s now suggesting a new way to protect your personal information: lie about it. At least, that’s what Barry Schnitt, Facebook’s Director of Corporate Communications and Public Policy, told the Wall Street Journal in an article this evening. From the story:Methodology
28 Jun 2010 A science historian at The University of Manchester has cracked “The Plato Code” – the long disputed secret messages hidden in the great philosopher’s writings. Plato was the Einstein of Greece’s Golden Age and his work founded Western culture and science.
ScienceHistorian cracks "the Plato code"
A science historian in Manchester claims to have deciphered secret messages hidden in the ancient writings of the philosopher Plato. Dr Jay Kennedy from the University of Manchester has revealed that the legendary Greek philosopher Plato used a regular pattern of symbols to give his books a musical structure. Plato's books had a key role in establishing the foundations of Western culture. But the existence of a so-called 'Plato Code' has long been disputed. By unravelling Plato's 'hidden' messages, Dr Kennedy believes he has thrown a new light on the origins of science, mathematics, music, and philosophy. At the University of Manchester, he happened to be teaching one course on Plato's Republic while teaching another on music and mathematics of the Ancient Greeks, when he began to see a connection.
