Augmented Reality in Retail / Augmented Reality Changing Room / Cisco

The future is what happens between objects and people.

Nothing better to validate this concept than Cisco’s vision about “how the changing room is really changing” (via TheTrendWatch)

I am sure meaningful application of Augmented Reality into Retail environment makes sense and would be quicker to try clothes on. It is very similar to Zugara social shopper and there are great possibilities to share it with your social graph.

Hand from Above - Augmented Reality Public Space Art / Chris O`Shea

So cool and fun to watch; Unsuspecting pedestrians will be tickled, stretched, flicked or removed entirely in real-time by a giant deity. :))

"It's just another part of the rapid rise of Augmented Reality - in which computer-generated images and information is layered over a live view of the real world." (via The Metro UK)

never loose the sun // sun seeker // augmented reality application

interesting augmented reality application to track the sun, on the other hand i am not sure if this has any use for dark finnish winter :))


In brief, when you look through the camera you see the current location and the path of the sun superimposed, allowing you to see where the sun will be at any point in time during the day (or night). It also shows the sun's path for the longest and shortest day, or in fact any day you choose "via ross dawson"

Augmented History - Twin Towers - WTC - Its not there but its there

"idea was to build a virtual memorial in remembrance of the 9/11 attacks in the U.S. and the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York City. The result will be the ability to point their Android and iPhone application at the place where the World Trade Center once stood and witness a 3D rendering of the Twin Towers, once more." via Techcrunch

"Go to the area around ground zero in NYC and you see a 3D icon on the left side of the cam view (in Wikitude v7.8 - on Android based phones). Click on it and the World Trade Center will appear as it looked pre-9/11."

Layar adds 3d objects

"Now, instead of just seeing basic information and hyperlinks related to the places around you, you might see full 3D objects. A game of Pacman in the local park, a passenger jet flying overhead and 3D text denoting places of interest are all possibilities according to technical demos released today.

3D objects are rendered using Open GL and can be touched by users to play music or open links to other content. The new technology will be officially unveiled at the Picnic Conference in Amsterdam, which runs from tomorrow until the end of the week. The public will get their hands on the 3D AR goodness when version 3.0 of Layar launches on Android in November." (Via the NextWeb)

Augmented Reality in a Contact Lens

These visions might seem far-fetched, but a contact lens with simple built-in electronics is already within reach; in fact, my students and I are already producing such devices in small numbers in my laboratory at the University of Washington, in Seattle. These lenses don’t give us the vision of an eagle or the benefit of running subtitles on our surroundings yet. But we have built a lens with one LED, which we’ve powered wirelessly with RF. What we’ve done so far barely hints at what will soon be possible with this technology.(via Xixidu)
