A Really Brilliant Use of Augmented Reality
I mentioned the term “augmented reality” in my Sun Seeker post last week – and today I saw a pretty incredible (or “Brilliant” as the Brits are accustomed to saying) use of it by the Museum of London. When I see technology do things like this – I get incredibly excited about the possibilities (as opposed to the more creepy Minority Report Advertisements that know who you are and send specific advertising your way). Check out the Gizmodo article here.






Wow. My mind is officially blown.

It would be great to have that here throughout cities in the U.S., National Parks, etc. Hope someone jumps on that before google does!

I’d written about this back in Feb.

Good to see it’s being done more mainstream now.
One app to look for is definately Layar or Metaio’s Junaio to do similar.
How about a complete Google Experience with it?
