The founders of metaio, Thomas Alt and Peter Meier, opened the conference with the message that the technology has matured to the point that more and more practical applications are being implemented today in marketing and industry. AR has definitely left the hype stage and is entering our daily life in many useful ways. Pointing to the results of a market study by ABI Research, with an exploding market size for augmented reality of 360 million USD by 2014, metaio´s CEO Thomas Alt could demonstrate how closely the revenue curve of metaio matches the growth rate, both past and projected, of this new and vibrant industry.

It has been known for a while that Kno had a dual-screen tablet in the works. It's now announced a new single-screen model promising to be a more affordable but equally useful school bag accessory. Aimed specifically at students the massive 14" tablet was previously only going to be available with two screens, but realising that a cheaper device was necessary, consumers will now have a cheaper option.
Kno's goal is for the tablet to replace textbooks and with a large high-resolution screen, as well as internet access and handwriting recognition, it seems like it could transform many classrooms.
Kno's tablet of course features stiff competition from the iPad which already has a promising app for delivering textbooks and although it has already been adopted by some schools, those starting college may want something kinder on their bank balance. If it can get enough publishers signed up to its book store it's not hard to see how this could be a hit. So far McGraw Hill, Pearson and Wiley have all signed up.
Both tablets should be available by the end of the year and will be competitively priced. The dual-screen device is already said to be priced at under $1000 and the single-screen version looks like it will be significantly cheaper.

トータルイマージョン(Total Immersion)社の技術(D'Fusion)を使用したARフィッティング-シミュレーターが登場した。
動画は...ちょっと笑ってしまうところも有るが、さすがクオリティを重視するTMだけあって、3D表示にこだわりがあるようだ。もう少し使ってみたくなるインターフェースにしてほしいところだ。
