Augmented Reality - Layar Reality Browser - Homepage. Now Available on the App Store: SR Engine 2. Posted on August 9, 2010 by rouli My favorite independent augmented reality framework, Sein Kanemura’s SR Engine, has just reached the important version 2.0 milestone, freely available on the (Japanese) App Store. Moreover, an SDK was released, allowing developers to create their own image recognition based applications. Capable of identifying up to 150 images, one should be able to use SR Engine to create augmented reality applications for small galleries and venues. As always, I’m pretty impressed with the UI design, fitting such a “futuristic” application. Mr. Like this: Like Loading... Filed under: Uncategorized Tagged: | SREngine.

Point & Find real world pilot in UK: Hands-on report (part one) | Nokia Conversations - The official Nokia Blog. COLCHESTER, England – Nokia Point & Find has generated a bunch of interest here on Conversations in recent months.

If you’re new to the concept of Point & Find, at its most basic it’s a service that lets you point your Nokia camera phone at real-world objects to extract relevant and valuable location-aware information from your surroundings – a concept that is fast becoming popularized by the term Augmented Reality.
To experience Point & Find, you first need to download the beta app to your device – it’s still under development, but the beta app works with stacks of S60 handsets (scroll down to see the full list), although we found the N95 to be the most robust and reliable at this stage of its gestation. Probably the best location-based apps in the world « Nicola Davies. 20 May OK slight overclaim, but here are some great location-based apps that have caught my attention in the last week or so. Some great examples of brands leveraging geolocation technology in way that is actually useful and rewarding for the consumer. StreetMuseum by Museum of London The Museum of London has launched a pretty slick iPhone app that enables users to access its extensive art and photographic images of the streets of London. The free app uses the iPhone’s geolocation technology to allow users to hold up their phones to London landmarks and overlay a historic image of it on the real-time image.
The really exciting thing for me about this app is mashing up the past with the present! More info here. Pacha / Ibiza AR app The yet-to-launch Pacha VIP Guide will be much more than “yet another guide to Ibiza” (or so they say). I’m giving my liver a rest from Ibiza this summer, but if you’re lucky enough to be going, I’d give this a go :) Via the other clever Nick. Pepsi Loot Like this:
