appsfireはモバイルアプリケーションを探して情報を共有するためのサービスだ。米国時間5月4日、ウェブサイトおよびiPhone向けアプリケーションの全面的リニューアルを行った。これまで以上にはるかに便利なサービスが提供されるようになった。iTunesのレーティングやGeniusレコメンド機能が役立たずな中、こうしたサービスがまさに必須のものとなっているのだ。

MicrosoftのProject Natalを覚えているだろうか? Microsoftが2009年6月にE3 2009でデモしてみせたコントローラーを使わずボディージェスチャーでゲームのコントロールが行えるという素晴らしいテクノロジーだ。今年末には製品化して公開されると報じられている。

A quick glance at the world’s hottest fashion brands suggests they’re all begging to get cosy with their inner geek.
Everyone from Armani to Vuitton has dipped a finger into this previously forbidden pie. For some, this has been the almost obligatory development of a mobile phone app. For others, a branded tie-in on a laptop.
But now the ultimate meeting of technology and fashion has been realised: the QR T-shirt. QR? Quick Response (QR) codes are like barcodes, but squarer. And cleverer.
Originally designed as a way to label recognise car parts in Japan, the mad little boxes have become big business in augmented reality.
You simply print your square of gobbledegook on a bit of paper, and a tech savvy user can point his or her mobile phone’s camera at it to unlock its secret.
via www.7days.aeThe campaign was designed and delivered by online content solutions provider Flixmedia.tv, long-term partner of both Dabs and Acer.
Using augmented reality technology, Flixmedia.tv has produced a three-dimensional view of the Acer Aspire 5738D laptop. It creates the illusion of depth and allows users to see the product from more than one perspective.
Promotional banner ads encourage dabs.com visitors to click through to the dedicated landing page, follow the 3 simple steps and ‘live the 3D experience’. Users are then encouraged to press ‘3’ on their keyboards to find out more and purchase the laptop from Dabs.

Facebookのこれらのアプリケーションは、最初の1か月で4億枚の写真にタグを付けるという、驚異的な立ち上がりを見せた。そして、その後の1年では、スキャンした写真が70億枚、認識した顔が5200万に達している。
Facebookの公開APIとデータベースをすでに使って構築されているサービスの例

iPhoneの中で動き回る人-まるでそこにいるように見えるDEMO!
2010 in Indianapolis, Indiana April 23-25.
*** Please know that this is a work in progress and still has a ways to go. We
The Project uses augmented reality on the iPhone.
Basically the viewer is able to see computer generated 3d objects interacting with the real world.
The work mixes alien invasion mythology with occupation by troops in foreign countries. In the Occupation Forces invading aliens attempt to occupy part of downtown Indianapolis. The aliens attempt to interact and control our consumer society as they go about their daily business.
This work was made by Mark Skwarek, Joseph Hocking, and the Serial Krusher.

Scenario: A Saturday, during a shopping afternoon, Aurelia falls into a space-time crack and lives an experience that she still tells her friends about. Bending a street, she comes face to face with her own image and realizes that a stylistic matrix is now governing the world of fashion...
Technology: RFID tracking, tactile screens, Augmented Reality: an interface of virtual testing, world data base of the clothes produced by the textile industry.
Values: Seize the day
Critique: With this film film-makers stand against standardization and against the mass consumption culture. For a greener planet and against global warming.
