Weekly Linkfest

Weekly Linkfest

Layar, Pongr, Lumus, The Artvertiser - and the one linkfest to rule them all:

• After a short summer hiatus, Tish Shute is back with part 2 of her interview with Bruce Sterling: Urban augmented realities and social augmentations that matter.
  
• The Artvertiser, one of my favorite augmented reality projects, gets the main stage at TEDxAmsterdam.
  
• The Sydney Morning Herald: Is there a creepy side to the tech phenomenon they call "augmented reality"?
  
• Hands-on with Lumus' see-through wearable display at TechCrunch
  
• Now you can embed Layar in your own iPhone application
  
• First there were augmented reality cookies, now AR cake, what's next?
  
• Are QR codes killing art? (from the guys at Pongr, who coincidentally make real image recognition engine)

For this week's video, I've got one that is a couple of months old but I've never found the right time to feature it in a post. It's a video demoing the thesis work of one Willem Van den Eynde. I wish I could tell you more, but I don't read Dutch (?) that well. Still cool for a thesis:




Have a great week!
