健康管理や医療の分野でも活用が始まっているAR。それらに関する記事の紹介。
Augmented Reality (AR) is a much-discussed topic and technology set for major growth. But what does it really mean? AR completes our view of the real-world environments by adding fictional elements, which enhance what we see, hear, feel, and smell. Today, augmented reality is used in many industries, such as cars, environment, fashion, photography, video games and now also in the health sector.
Definition and distinction between virtual reality and augmented reality
Augmented Reality is a term for the integration of computer generated images and virtual objects into the user’s perception of the real world, all in real-time 3D. In short, AR adds objects that don’t necessarily exist to your computer or smartphone while you’re looking at it; hence it supplements the real world instead of replacing it. Augmented reality is different from virtual reality (VR): the latter is more complex as it creates a whole new world for the user to explore. Augmented reality is therefore closer to the “actual” reality than virtual reality.Medical augmented reality applications and tools
AR and VR are particularly useful in medical training and in the treatment of diseases and injuries.

(via http://www.folden.info/emedia/2011/09/20/augmented-reality-browser/)Aurasma is the name of a new augmented reality browser available for the installation on smartphones. Whereas the service is mentioned for the first time at this place, it seems already be popular according to the media coverage and its 2 million members mentioned at the homepage.
The functions are similar to the ar browser junaio by metaio. Both browsers are able to recognize objects of the real world and to deliver further information about such objects on the screen. Opposed to junaio, which by its latest update became equipped with a scan functions to read barcodes and qr codes and other things and which by this approach may become described as pragmatic, Aurasma has a more playful approach including social networking facilities. These means enable users to create own augmented reality enrichments to the real world and to share these within an integrated social network. Sharing may either happen within groups of particular interests or just with friends within closed groups. By this the service may be used for very special information or to create searching games and the like. Last but not least the service provides a site dedicated todevelopers. For further information visit Aurasma.

He warned retailers to make sure they build change into their plans and business models.

Online sellers are already using 3D printers to "manufacture" their products - seethis article in EcommerceBytes from June, "Shape of the Future: Make Your Own Products to Sell with Shapeways."

Consumers will use augmented reality (AR) in stores, according to Kurzweil, so they will experience virtual reality and real reality at the same time. Ecommerce players are already using augmented reality - see, USPS Meets Star Trek andAugmented Reality Comes to eBay Mobile to learn about early adapters.

It’s an augmented reality (AR), optical character recognition (OCR) translation app that uses your smartphone’s camera to read and translate words.

"Monkey Business" is an interactive installation where a cuddly toy monkey hangs on the wall like a Jumping Jack and apes the gestures of the user.
The system consists of a tracking camera sensor (Microsoft XBox Kinect) on top of the toy monkey for tracking the visitor's movements, a hidden computer to analyze and convert the tracking data (OpenNI Framework, osceleton, OSC), a programming patch (Processing) to process the data into movement angles and send it to a microcontroller board (Arduino) inside the toy's body, which controls ten servo motors attached to a metal sceleton and in this way moves the ape's arms, legs, head and body. The flexible suspension of the ape in combination with fast responding motors allow an astonishing quick-witted behavior and a tempting interaction experience for the user.
All technical devices are covered in order to facilitate a direct communication between the visitor and the soft toy.
The work reflects in a playful way the problem of real natural interaction and states an ironic comment about the present art business through this iconic monkey figure.
