Weekly Linkfest

Weekly Linkfest

Another bounty of delicious links awaits those who read the weekly linkfest:

• A very early release of Robert Rice's Mirascape is online. For the moment it's Android only, but apparently the iPhone version is waiting approval, and once it hits the appstore I'll write a full review of it.
  
• Augmented Planet offers some marketing tips for augmented reality developers.
• And while we are at it, 6 Tips for your augmented reality projects (via @bretgiles).
  
• A Playboy augmented reality application? Apparently there is one, in Argentina.
• BlackBerry funds Viewdle, a visual recognition company and marks augmented reality as a goal.
• Ever wanted your profile picture on facebook would look like an AR marker? there's an app for that.
• On the other hand, if you wanted a Godzilla t-shirt that puffs virtual smoke, there were a couple of those on last week's Comic-Con.
• And finally, on a personal note, the Parrot AR drone is now available for pre-order. Why personal note? Because they don't offer any price reduction for stingy bloggers.

This week's video is of Junaio Glue. Nothing special, just a nice demonstration of marker less tracking on a non flat surface. Or in other words, the coolest coffee mug I've seen yet:



Have a lovely week!
