Useful AR from the US Postal Service
The USPS has a very neat AR application, which is also surprisingly useful. Using FLARToolKit, you can now see if the stuff you intend to send fits in any of the flat-rate boxes. As the novelty augmented reality fad becomes old very quickly, I hope more companies will favor a more useful approach to AR.

One of the first FLARToolKit applications that looks useful! Nice find.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic use of AR technology that actually solves a real problem! I can see this saving so many trips to the post office when you're unsure about package sizes. It reminds me of how Cookie Clicker became addictively useful by turning a simple concept into something people returned to repeatedly.
