Future Predicting App Concept by Dor Tal from Dezeen on Vimeo.

Israeli designer Dor Tal’s Future Control project uses data generated on social networks to help users predict the future and take action ahead of time. This personal horoscope built on your data could be used for everything from when you're most likely to go to the gym, to predicting what mood your partner is going to be in when they get home. Tal's concept works in two ways. The first requires the user to download an app on to their smartphone that scours their social networks and any data generated about user. An algorithm based in a cloud system of servers then crunches through the numbers to detect any patterns of behaviour that could be forecast ahead of time. The more accounts the user adds, including credit card information, Google, Apple and Facebook, the more intelligent it becomes.

Lumenal Code painted this interactive chalk mural for Izakaya 2012, a celebration of Japanese Pub Culture held at the Jupiter Hotel in Portland, Oregon on Friday, November 16th. We activated the chalk mural using Layar. Scanning the seven panels of the mural brought them to life with an animated version of the story, our take on the classic monster vs. robot battles. At the beginning and end of the mural we had links to share the project on Twitter and Facebook, as well as a link to our website.

How We Did it:
Our process involved a couple days of concept sketching, where Dan and I bounced ideas back and forth and came up with the theme and layout for our mural. We also designed our two characters, the Samurai Robot and the Monster. Then we spent a day working from our sketches to create our final digital image. This image served as our base for the animations and the chalk mural.

Fashion House CuteCircuit Debuts Wearable Technology Collection At NYFW With Apparel Controlled By iPhone App

Fashion house CuteCircuit debuted their latest wearable technology collection during NYFW 2014 with a line of styles controlled by an iPhone app. The futuristic fashions of CuteCircuit's haute-tech collection are reminiscent of a modern day chameleon, using the iPhone app to change attire's colors and appearance. Despite the garment's high-tech features, CuteCircuit designers Ryan Genz and Francesca Rosella upheld a high-fashion aesthetic. Simply put, people will actually want to wear these wearables.

Buried pipes that can not see that it does not want to dig, such as sewer and water pipes, on the ground a lot. When construction or repair, it is necessary to know exactly what these. By using the techniques of AR, it's possible to resolve.

Googleは、「プロジェク・トタンゴ」を立ち上げた。これは、屋内と屋外の環境をマッピングすることが可能な3Dセンサーを搭載した実験スマートフォンや開発キット。2014年2月20日頃から世界中が、この話題でもちきりだ。

Google today launched Project Tango, an experimental smartphone and developer kit that incorporates 3D sensors able to map indoor and outdoor environments. Designed as a 5-inch phone containing custom hardware and software, the first Project Tango prototype makes more than a quarter million 3D measurements each second, tracking three-dimensional motion to create a visual 3D map of the space around itself. Google describes Project Tango primarily as a mapping tool, automatically capturing the world around each user to provide directions, dimensions, and environmental maps.

What if you could capture the dimensions of your home simply by walking around with your phone before you went furniture shopping? What if directions to a new location didn't stop at the street address? What if you never again found yourself lost in a new building? What if the visually-impaired could navigate unassisted in unfamiliar indoor places? What if you could search for a product and see where the exact shelf is located in a super-store?

The company also pictures Project Tango as the first step towards fully immersive augmented reality games that merge gameplay with real world locations.

Imagine playing hide-and-seek in your house with your favorite game character, or transforming the hallways into a tree-lined path. Imagine competing against a friend for control over territories in your home with your own miniature army, or hiding secret virtual treasures in physical places around the world?

According to TechCrunch, Project Tango utilizes a vision processor called the Myriad 1, from Movidius, which is incredibly power efficient compared to other 3D-sensing chips on the market. The power necessary for 3D chips to function has thus far been one of the major issues preventing the technology from being incorporated into a smartphone, but because it functions like a co-processor much like Apple's own M7 motion co-processor, it is able to draw less power.

キューブを認識するARアプリ。箱の側面を認識し、箱の中にあたかもクッキーマンやレゴマンが生きているように動く様子が見られる。不思議な感覚になる。（箱の中にアイテムを入れる行為はARとは関係していないと思われる）

Qbox is an educational and educational protype for children consisting of a little cube robot, a toy figure and a mobile device application. The kid can interact with the cube trough the augmented reality displayed on the device. The kid has to introduce a little figure into the cube. When the AR is displayed the character will appear inside the cube and will become alive. The kid will be able to see the character inside the cube and interact with it. Any type of application can be developed using this new way of interaction. A new relation is created between the kid and the character.

レバノンで開催されたフェスティバル。プロジェクトの主な目的は、自然·文化遺産の向上のためのICTツーリズムのクロスセクターを作成すること。拡張現実技術を使用し、過去にそこに建っていたであろうアンティーク寺院や遺跡や動画を見ることができる。

Jbeil, located in Lebanon, is the city that every year in July holds the prestigious International Festival of Byblos. The event concentrates relevant international music and cultural artists. I2CAT in the framework of the Mediterranean Cooperation Project I AM (International Augmented Med) attended the festival during the 25th , 26th and 27th of July, jointly with other partners of the project Consortium, introducing the activities and developments of the Audiovisual Unit that have been done within the I AM project, and those that will keep carrying out until the end of the project (in 2015).

The main objective of the project is to create an ICT-Tourism cross-sector for the enhancement of natural and cultural heritage sites. The Audiovisual Unit takes part in one pilot based on the archaeological emplacement of Empúries (Costa Brava). The objective is to improve the user's experience bringing the visitor, through the use of mobile devices and the Augmented Reality, into the colonial Greek and Roman period. Thanks to this applications, visitors will be able to see three-dimensional representations of the antique temples and ruins of Empúries, related images, videos, extra information and audio, among others.

韓国科学技術院（KAIST）の研究者が開発中のHMD(ヘッドマウントディスプレイ)のデモビデオ。製品化の予定はまだ明確ではない。認識精度はかなり良さそうだ。店舗などでの利用イメージなど、消費者向けの利用提案としては参考になる。

Walking around the streets searching for a place to eat will be no hassle when a head-mounted display (HMD) becomes affordable and ubiquitous. Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) developed K-Glass, a wearable, hands-free HMD that enables users to find restaurants while checking out their menus. If the user of K-Glass walks up to a restaurant and looks at the name of the restaurant, today's menu and a 3D image of food pop up. The Glass can even show the number of tables available inside the restaurant. K-Glass makes this possible because of its built-in augmented reality (AR) processor.

Linkify Announces General Availability for Cutting-Edge SDK That Enables Mobile App Developers to Harness Advances in Semantic Augmented Reality

Tokyo (PRWEB) February 20, 2014

Linkify, an innovative startup aiming to change the way people search for information, announced the general availability of its SDK for mobile application developers to download and use. Available immediately, the new SDK supports both the Android and iOS platforms. Linkify offers developers a different approach to mobile search that delivers users relevant results faster. Instead of submitting a traditional word-based query via a search engine, Linkify’s technology is able to recognize, extract and convert “things of interest” to a user and connect them with relevant information from the web. With its new SDK, Linkify is the first to reach an important milestone that the young startup has coined “Semantic AR” (augmented reality).
