(via vimeo)In a world in which we are constantly bombarded with injunctions to react or to distract ourselves it gets scarcely possible in our everyday life to dwell upon the essential, the existential, the metaphysical…
Transcendenz offers to connect our everyday life to an invisible reality, the one of ideas, concepts and philosophical questionings which the world is full of but that our eyes cant' see. By bringing together the concepts of augmented/altered reality, Brain Computer Interface (BCI) and social networks, Transcendenz offers to live immersive philosophical experiences.
Through meditation, users access the world of Interconsciousness, a white and silent universe in which they can connect themselves to the metaphysical experiences. These experiences transform our perception of the world and reveal an unseen philosophy.
Transcendenz also enables us to access the knowledge of history's great philosophers, who, since antiquity, try to answer the question: "Why is there something, if there could be nothing?"

You thought you weren't supposed to use your phone while driving. But Israeli startup Picitup uses augmented reality to warn you of dangers on the road ahead.Admit it: Every once in a while you send a text message or check your email while driving. Chances are, your cell phone manufacturer doesn't encourage this kind of behavior. But Israeli startup Picitup wants you to keep your eyes glued on your cell phone while driving--at least for part of the time.The company's recently introduced iOnRoad app uses augmented reality technology to act as a kind of visual radar for danger on the road. Drivers simply place their cell phone on a dashboard mount and let the app do its magic. IOnRoad maps the objects in front of drivers (i.e. cars, trees, people) in real time and calculates current driving speed. If the app senses that a driver is in danger of a collision, a visual warning pops up and a sound alert goes off.

(via & more INTERNET Watch )頓智ドット株式会社は6月30日、AR（拡張現実）技術に対応したモバイル端末用アプリ「セカイカメラ」の機能拡充を発表した。ヤフー株式会社が手がける「東日本大震災 写真保存プロジェクト」に寄せられた写真を、実際の撮影地付近でセカイカメラから閲覧できるようになった。
「東日本大震災 写真保存プロジェクト」は、東日本大震災によって失われた街並みや風景を写真として保存するための非営利プロジェクト。4月8日の発足後、一般ユーザーから写真および撮影場所情報の募集を開始した。復興途上の様子を捉えた写真も含めると、6月30日時点では1万8000件以上が集まっているという。 頓智ドットはこのプロジェクトに賛同。セカイカメラの「FILTER」機能を使って、それらの写真を閲覧できるようにした。実際の閲覧にあたっては、まず写真の撮影場所付近でセカイカメラを起動し、「FILTER」メニュー内の「LIST」に表示される「震災前の記憶」「復興への記録」を選択する。
