Highlights from Metaio's insideAR

So Metaio was nice enough to upload all of insideAR talks online (wish that the organizers of ISMAR10 will follow suit). However, most of us don't have a day to spend watching all the talks, so here are some of my favorites (note that I'm a tech head, so your mileage may vary) :

• Peter Meier, Metaio's CTO on some future directions the company may pursuit (part 2 is even more relevant)
• Fabian Doil, a researcher from Volkswagen, on how AR is used (in some surprising ways) in Volkswagen.
  
  
  

• Intel's Horst Haussecker, director of interactions & experiences research on optimizing visual search algorithms.
• Selim Ben Himane, gave a talk on Metaio's research, which he's heading:
  
  
  

• It wasn't just a "Junaiofest". Layar got the center stage when Remco Vroom, Johanes La Poutre of TAB Worldmedia gave a talk on how they used Layar to create exciting AR games and applications.
• Ken Blakeslee of Web Mobility Ventures on why he finds AR exciting as a business.
  

Sadly, no videos of Metaio folks drinking excessive amounts of beer in the Oktoberfest, but I keep my hopes high for next year.
