DIY Augmentation

This video is inspiration in AR.



Now I've just got to keep it away from my cock cartoonist friend, otherwise...
(shudder shudder)I wouldn't like to consider the consequences.

(I'm going to stop blogging about AR stuff for a while)

The CLOUD



"The CLOUD proposes an entirely new form of observation deck,connecting visitors to both the whole of London and the whole of the world, immersing them in euphoric gusts of weather and digital data. Each individual footstep on the ascent to the CLOUD participates in a vast collective energy-harvesting effort. Everyone around the world can contribute to the Cloud - whether by visiting or by sponsoring an LED, helping to keep the London lamp aflame."

Augmenting Google Maps

Augmenting Google Maps | Dom O'Brien | Innovation Scrapbook
Academics at the Georgia Institute of Technology have created an ‘as live’ version of Google Earth in which cars travel on motorways, people play in parks and shops and offices are open for business.

The technology (displayed in this video which manages to make something exciting seem rather dull) could herald a wave of new marketing opportunities for companies looking to promote their range of services.

Shopping centres, theme parks, high street shops and car manufacturers could potentially use the technology to showcase their wares in a life-like scenario.

The technology is still at an early stage but will be the subject of a thesis by academics of the Georgia Institute of Technology.
