(via YouTube by ReutersTV )Augmented reality (AR) is a way to integrate information technology into your daily life. Anthony De Rosa describes how this technology is used today and breaks down a few augmented reality apps. (April 17, 2012)
ARworks prepared a nice AR channel for the countrywide campaign of the Hungarian forest train system. In the channel, you will see the accurate 3D model of the MK 48 engine coming out from a tunnel - it even celebrates its arrival with a loud whistle.
What makes this channel interesting is that we've scanned a small maquette of the engine with a special scanning system - so the final model could be as accurate as possible. Naturally the scanned version was just the raw material of the modeling process - and the result, well, you have to decide.
The train appears on 2 markers - on the prints placed on forest train stations and schools and on the vouchers which was send out to train fanatics.
To make the use of the application easier there was a QR code on every printed surfaces which - a after the download of Junaio - launch the channel.

U.S. Bank employees are piloting one of the latest technology trends on the market today -- augmented reality. The new U.S. Bank Find US+ Application for iPhone® allows on-the-go users to easily find and access more digitally enhanced information about the closest U.S. Bank branch or ATM.

In June of 2011 13th Lab received a lot of attention from press and industry (see http://13thlab.com/company/press ) for being the first company in the world to bring the NASA pioneered SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) technology used in Mars rovers to track 3D spaces and objects, to an iOS application through the iPad 2 game Ball Invasion. It is still the only application in the AppStore to use this technology, but today 13th Lab is about to change that by making it's PointCloud™ technology available to any iOS developer, for Free!
As expected, the technology is available as an iOS library that can be embedded in a stand-alone iOS application written in Objective-C. You'll find the library at http://pointcloud.io/.
But even cooler, and in another world's first, 13th Lab today also allows non C++/Objective-C developers to develop applications with our technology using simply JavaScript and HTML by using it's recently released PointCloud browser instead. Simply download the PointCloud browser from the AppStore, try the free JavaScript version of the Ball Invasion game that was launched in June, look at the source code on the PointCloud™ website http://pointcloud.ioand start coding your own JavaScript 3D application!

official site(via YouTube by emnullfuenf )You probably have heard of the Recursive Wil Wheaton Recursive t-shirt. Paul (of Paul and Storm) sent it to Wil and this photo became quite popular. It was remixed by an unknown genius into an animated gif and "won at the internet".
Over the weekend i experimented with the new PointCloud Augmented Reality SDK (which is by the way brilliant and simple: 3D tracking and HTML5). I took Recursive Wil and turned the concept around: A Wil Wheaton Particle Emitter.
Scott Meyer from basicinstructions.net sent me the original SVG file of the shirt. My first try was using Processing.js for animation (Yes! Processing.js now works in AR). But SVG and CSS 3D were the better choice to get a perspective effect. And it's hardware accelerated on iOS.
The last three Horizon Reports (for 2009, 2010 and 2011) have listed Geo-Everything, Augmented Reality, Mobile Computing, and Mobiles as technology that will impact education over the next 2-5 years. This session will chronicle the presenter's search for a relevant instructional use of this technology. The journey includes an exploration of mobile tools for geocaching and waymarking that ultimately led to the discovery of mobile apps (TagWhat, SCVNGR) that use augmented reality (AR) and can be adapted for educational purposes.

The US Defense Department has ordered special augmented reality contact lenses with a view to using them on the battlefield, according to reports. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) placed an order with Innovega for its lenses, which work with special glasses to enable the wearer to focus on faraway and close objects at the same time. Augmented reality could have potential military applications such as enabling soldiers on the ground to see images generated by drones or satellites. Source: Wired, BBC
