This is a showcase of what is possible with Augmented Reality and data services running on a variety of mobile devices.
This demonstration process goes from customer seeing an advert in a trade magazine, getting product information including stock and pricing, requesting a discount, through to the order being placed.
The solution uses a combination of native Android development and Netweaver CE devolopment including JSF / JQuery mobile web applications and Netweaver BPM.

Touch Vision Interface enables touch interaction on many different connected surfaces through a mobile phones’ camera view. The translation of touch input coordinates to the captured video feed creates the illusion of being able to directly manipulate a distant surface. As a result, the interaction feels natural and almost invisible.

(via http://www.concept-phones.com/cool-concepts/transparent-dual-display-phone-augmented-reality-features/)The device uses two sliding transparent surfaces that attach to one another and form the smartphone. You can split them and still pair them most likely via wireless and this is very cool, since you get double the screen estate you’d normally benefit from. We must also mention that the screens have divided roles, as one is the Mother and the other one is the Lens.
You can shift from passive to active UI output and also you’ll interact via gestures with this handset if you want. Imagine the opportunities of the Lens screen: augmented reality: tons of photo taking options, great navigation services and landmark positioning on the map, augmented gaming and social networking. Incredible!

Customers are more likely to buy a product after engaging with an augmented reality experience and will do so at a higher price point, says new research.
The research, by marketing communications consultancy Hidden, set out to prove the effectiveness of augmented reality versus traditional sales and marketing collateral.
The findings are explained in detail in Hidden Creative’s new guide: “sales technology: selling with augmented reality” which is available to download here http://www.hiddenltd.com/sales-technology-selling-with-augmented-reality
The research aimed to recreate the famous Pepsi challenge, but this time comparing traditional marketing materials and display advertising versus augmented reality. 100 parents were shown a marketing communications and a display advert for a child’s toy, while another 100 parents were shown the child’s toy as an interactive augmented reality experience.

(via & more http://ibnlive.in.com/news/app-lets-people-create-a-time-machine/183471-11.html)Bangkok: For people who have stood at a monument or scanned a landscape - the Great Wall of China, for instance, or the US Grand Canyon - and wondered how it looked 100 or more years ago, there is now an app for you. Historypin, on iOS and Android platforms, strives to create a collection of memories about locations by counting on people to dig up and digitise old photographs and other media of the places, along with personal recollections of the past. Combined with modern pictures and memories, the app creates a story of a place for people to enjoy - a sort of "time machine in your pocket," its backers say.

The app is available worldwide on the App store (here) and Android Marketplace (here).

It seems fitting that Net-a-porter chose model-turned-blogger Hanneli Mustaparta to headline its fall ad campaign, which launches online Sept. 13 and hits publications worldwide this month, beginning with Asia. Later this month ads will appear in books across the U.S., Europe and the Middle East such as Elle, Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Tatler.
Shot by Patrick Demarchelier, the ads also star Ann Dexter-Jones, Atlanta de Cadenet and Shala Monroque. From “super blogger” to “super mom,” the images are “vignettes into the lives and fashion loves of these women,” according to a spokesman from the brand.

Fold the CD case to form the stage and scan the AR code to start the band's "live" animated performance. Watch the animated Jive Talk members perform their title track, "123 Jump!".
The inner booklet shows each of the four band members. Scan the QR markers, place your Smart Phone over the band members' mouths and watch the guys sing their music! Try experimenting with the music by scanning the band members at different times to remix the song, or break the song down and listen to each member individually.
