一方で、モバイルARの技術やサービスはまだまだ成熟しておらず、利用者を継続的に得るには乗り越えるべき課題がある。7月28日にAR Commons、内田洋行、アスキー・メディアワークス アスキー総合研究所が主催した「AR Commons Summer Bash 2010」では、こうしたARの問題点や、ARの表現をより高度にする技術の進化が語られた。
「ARで重要なのは、コンピューター自体が風景を理解していること」――そう話すのは、Zenitumのアルバート・キムCEOだ....
キューブに固定されたカメラで人の顔を認識しキューブ上に映しだす、何とも不思議なARオブジェ
Durchsehen, Exp. 01 (augmented perspective). D-2010. Concrete cube, PC, 2 projectors, webcam, servo motors, microcontrollers, C++ applications, tripods. 4 x 4 x 2 m.

A camera fixed on the concrete cube sculpture recognizes the presence of human faces within its scope. With a randomized choice it will focus on one of the bystanders and adjust its movement to his; tracking the eye movements of the viewer, a software computes the corresponding angle of view projecting onto the cube the very section of the space the sculpture is blocking from the viewers eye; thus making the cube appear transparent.

このARコンテスト、ぜひ参加したみたい！Qualcomm からは今後も目が離せない。The inaugural Augmented Reality Application Developer Challenge will start in November when the software developer kit (SDK) is made available for download and entries will be accepted until Jan. 7, 2011.
According to Qualcomm, three winners will be announced at the Mobile World Congress 2011 to win cash prizes of $125,000 for first place, $50,000 for second place, and $25,000 for third place.
Qualcomm’s efforts at augmented reality may be a portent of things to come in the mobile space.
“We are really still only at the beginning of what is possible for next-gen experiences,” said Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs at the opening of the inaugural Uplinq 2010 mobile developer conference in San Diego, California recently.“In a not so distant future, we see a world where everyone is connected to all the things that matters to them the most. So it is a world where people and information have actually presence and contact, where information is discoverable and personal,” Jacobs said.
And how might this world future look like?
