この新しいモバイルAR「buzzAR」は、他のARのブラウザとは異なり、ロケーションベースではなく画像認識ベースとなっている。VS(Viasul Search) と AR(Augmented Reality)、期待できそうなソリューションだ。
Joint the buzz! buzzAR is an application that will allow smartphone users to take a photo of a poster, billboard, logo, product or any other image and return content based on the photo and your location. Augmented Reality If the smartphone supports it, buzzAR will show Augmented Reality based on image recognition. The Augmented Reality is not based on location, like many other AR browsers, but on real image recognition. Your ad in a magazine can also be enriched! This is the most unique and open mobile AR platform available today!

米バージニア州立大学にて、AR（拡張現実）技術を利用した「ゴキブリ恐怖症」克服トレーニングの実験が行われた。
この実験は、ゴキブリ恐怖症の被験者にARマーカーを認識するヘッドマウントディスプレイ（HMD）をかぶってもらい、マーカーの上に表示される動くゴキブリの3DCGを見てもらうというもの。最初は一匹から始め、徐々にARマーカーを増やしてHMDに表示されるゴキブリの数も増やしていき恐怖を克服していく。尚、ARシステムはスペインの研究者が開発した。

(yookyoungnoh.com/thesis2010/index.html) This conceptual video illustrates the idea that how each object can communicate and exchange its information with each other, when they are linked to the Internet and connected to each other. Everyday objects can identify the user and record its usage data. While the user is recording via embedded camera, the invisible data of the object is combined with the recording video.
