Together with TBWA\ Interactive in Spain, ABSOLUT launched a print ad campaign announcing their special edition bottle called "ABSOLUT GLIMMER". The ad shows a veiled bottle shape and only when seen through a junaio powered smartphone, an animation starts with the new bottle becoming magically unveiled while music is playing through stereo boxes in the background.
Interactive Installation for Hennessy Artistry @ City Bar, Banglore where a person from the crowd wears a Glove and can control the visuals via the Glove.

The Glove has motion sensors and is similar to the Glove worn by Tom Cruise in the movie - 'Minority Report'.
A camera is placed on the screen, which recognizes gestures and tracks hand movements, based on which patterns are formed on the screen.

クアルコムが3Dゲームのプラットフォームとしても有名なUnity 向けにもARを対応させたようだ。
Qualcomm Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM) today announced the immediate availability of its Augmented Reality (AR) Extension for Unity. Qualcomm's AR Extension for Unity will enable developers to use Unity's award-winning game development tool to rapidly build augmented reality applications for Android smartphones. Building upon Qualcomm's existing AR platform for Android, the Extension, combined with the Unity development platform, expands the options available and allows developers to build richer interactive games and applications with shorter development times.
"Our mission at Unity Technologies is to democratize game development by making best-of-breed enabling technologies accessible to the broader developer community," said David Helgason, co-founder and CEO of Unity Technologies. "We continue to deliver on this mission by supporting Qualcomm's AR platform for Android application development and are excited by the potential for AR games and experiences."

クアルコムなど、新しいタイプのARのプラットフォームも現れ、これからが本格的な始まりといえる。今までは序盤戦だ。さあ、準備はいいかな？
In the 21st Century, there will be no question you have will go unanswered if the promise of augmented reality really comes true. Your smartphone equipped with augmented reality will identify and describe in sound, images, and/or moving 3D objects anything, anywhere you point your smartphone camera at. The real world will have become a place that you can “mouse over” and “click” with your phone and your reality will become augmented by all the data that the phone can assemble on that object—visualize the technology depicted in the Tom Curse flick “Minority Report”. (I wonder if it will work when you point your camera phone at a person.)
Among others Qualcomm recently recommitted to the technology. At the end of June, the company announced plans to offer an augmented reality platform and software development kit (SDK) to enable vision-based augmented reality applications. On November 10, Qualcomm teamed up with Unity Technologies, which claims to offer the development platform of choice for both 2D and 3D game development on mobile platforms. Qualcomm is making its Augmented Reality Extension available for Unity. Now, game developers like Trilogy Studio, creator of MTV’s “Pimp my Ride” game can use Qualcomm’s platform to add augmented reality functionality to games they develop or that’s the theory.

過去、その場所に存在したであろう人物や光景を現実の空間にオーバーレイされる。ARだから実現出来る。
Imagine you go to the World Trade Center’s Ground Zero in New York, pull out your mobile device, turn on its camera and through it you see how the area looked days after the 9/11 attacks. You pan to the left and see the surrounds. Hit a button and see how it was before the attacks. You can immerse yourself in these different scenes from the past as they come alive while standing on the actual street corner of the scene.
In a pivotal scene in SyFy‘s mini series The Lost Room, the main character pulls out an “object” and has this virtual, immersive experience inside a mysterious hotel room:

SPOILER ALERT-ish: This is a key scene, but this video clip is in Spanish… so at least you can see what I’m talking about.
