Augmented Reality: Here's Our Wishlist of Apps, What's
There's another dimension present, everywhere we go, that a growing number of technologists are working to uncover. These people aren't talking about theoretical physics or a magical world of fairies and gnomes - they're talking about information that could offer more context to traditionally physical lived experience. Augmented Reality (AR) is the phrase being used and this practice of making layers of data available on top of real world experiences could be a big one soon. Improvements in geolocation, bandwidth, mobile devices and APIs are the foundation of this feeling that a useful Augmented Reality may be more realistic today than ever before. AR isn't new, but it's been pretty hokey so far. Now there's a movement to make it really worth doing.

Augmented Reality Games
Workshop approach Participants will design and construct a prototype of an Augmented Reality Game using the ARToolkit. Interaction between the virtual and the physical will be the focus of the games. The rules of the games are determined by the space programmed into the software, by the space accessible in reality, and by the creativity and persistence of the players. The morning sessions center on input from workshop trainers.

How AR Browsers Should Be…
Posted on September 7, 2009 by rouli Frankly, I got tired with AR browsers. When Wikitude first launched I was excited.
Android app can recognize a person, pull up his status updates
Imagine you’re at a conference and want to know something about the people around you. A new mobile application called Recognizr can identify a person’s face via your phone camera and deliver not only profile information about that person but also show you their latest status updates. Swedish computer vision specialists Polar Rose combined forces with interface designers TAT (The Astonishing Tribe) to create the Recognizr as a prototype application for Android phones to show off Polar Rose’s mobile face recognition library.
iPhone 3.1: Some Nice Tweaks - Augmented Reality Still Only Semi
At its annual iPod event today, Apple introduced version 3.1 of the iPhone OS for the iPhone and iPod touch. While there are a number of small tweaks and new features in this update, for the most part, the new firmware enables support for the new features that iTunes 9 introduced today, including Genius mixes and premade ringtones. One feature we were really looking for, support for augmented reality (AR) apps, will only be semi-supported in this new version, though at least some AR apps that were previously impossible to implement on the iPhone will now be feasible. Together with the iTunes 9 update, the iPhone 3.1 firmware now allows users to download over 30,000 ringtones for four major labels at $1.29 each. iTunes 9 also finally introduces a better way to manage and rearrange apps on the iPhone or touch.
