(via YouTube)Valencia Terra de Comarques fue una exposición centrada en un proyecto de realidad aumentada (augmented reality), en el cual se presentaba de manera interactiva la Comunitat Comunidad Valencia y sus tres provincias: Alicante, Castellón y Valencia.
Sobre un gran mapa, se podían manipular fichas temáticas sobre: historía, arte, gastronomía o geografía, entre otras.
Según la ubicación de la ficha y la temática de la misma, se mostraban en pantalla un audiovisual producido por Adarve Producciones, y una imagen 3D programada por el Instituto de Robótica de la UV, y relacionada con la temática
Herramienta de gran valor educativo, pedagógico y patrimonial, que acercaba a los visitantes a un mayor conocimiento del territorio valenciano.

The team, led by Dr. Susumu Tachi, from Keio University, is now adapting their findings to help pilots, drivers, doctors and others. Retro-reflective projection technology uses a computer, a video camera and projector to shine background images onto the front of a subject wearing specialised clothing, creating the illusion of invisibility.

(via & more ubergizmo http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/08/junaio-3-0/ )Junaio is one of the top augmented reality mobile browsers out there; the two most famous competitors areWikitude and Layar. Today, metaio, the developer behind the application, is releasing Junaio 3.0 with a key feature labeled “Scan The world”. It allows users to scan anything from pictures to bar codes or QR codes and get information about it from Junaio’s channels – note that the objects or images scanned have to be stored in the Junaio database in order to provide interaction with users.
Thought it was pretty cool that your phone can scan QR codes and barcodes using just your camera? Or that it can recognize a book or CD cover? With Junaio your iPhone’s camera just got a little bit cooler.We covered augmented reality browser, Junaio when it first launched in 2009, as it developed, and expanded to include the iPad 2 as a supported device.In its latest incarnation, Junaio 3.0 is combining augmented reality with image recognition, meaning not only can you now scan QR codes and barcodes, you can also scan images using the app.
Speaking about the latest version, Peter Meier, metaio’s CTO said:“Junaio 3.0 takes us further towards our vision of making the “Augmented World” around us come alive in every sense. We are using the very objects around us as markers to get virtual information. Just point the camera and scan it. This could be a famous painting in a museum showing how the artist created his master piece, or a simple box of breakfast cereals starting an entertaining AR game for our children.”

(via & more Mabertech http://www.mabertech.net/junaio-3-0-mobile-ar-browser-update-now-scans-barcodes-too)Junaio, the mobile Augmented Reality browser created by German AR firm Metaio, has been updated this morning: Version 3.0 now supports scanning barcodes. Some of you are probably thinking “Whoop-dee-doo, every app can scan barcodes nowadays.” And you’re right; it’s not really a big deal in that sense. When you consider Junaio’s capability at advanced image recognition, using it to scan 1D and 2D QR codes is kind of like using a bazooka to shoot an arrow.
Metaio just transformed its Junaio Augmented Reality browser into a highly useful tool. Its new Scan function recognizes a range of real things--from pictures to QR codes to product barcodes--so it can supply extra info to its users about what it's looking at. This suggests a near future wherein everything from product demos to store offers could be delivered using AR.
Junaio's 3.0 release is a big transformation for the software--it included limited object recognition powers for about a year, but the new system is far more sophisticated. As well as relying on the usual AR sensor suite of GPS (to tell the software where the smartphone is on the planet), compass, and gyros to work out what angle the phone's camera is looking, it also uses feature tracking to give it a better idea of the objects in its field of view. As long as one of Junaio's channels or databases or the platforms of its developer partners has information on the object, it'll pop up on screen.

For smokers, it’s one thing to be told that cigarettes are damaging to the lungs; it’s quite another, however, to see a visual depiction of that destruction. Enter London marketing firm SapientNitro, which recently created “AR Lungs,” an augmented reality app that displays the harm that can be done by smoking.
