Hand From Above is an interactive installation by Chris O’Shea. He was commissioned by Abandon Normal Devices and Liverpool City Council for BBC Big Screen Liverpool and the Live Sites Network to create something for the BBC Big Screen. Hand From Above interacts with unsuspecting pedestrians, it can tickle, stretch, flick or remove entirely them on the big screen. Chris used openFrameworks and OpenCV to build this software.

A great little augmented reality app for the iphone 3Gs that points you to the nearest and best places to work.
Launches in London soon, then San Fran. Expected to be a global service by late 2009.

We have been talking about Augmented Reality for quite some time and we gave some pretty cool examples here and here and here.
So this guy came up with another use for it that is actually really practical and is nearly as cool as our Surface business cards here
It’s pretty cool – well done. you can check out his blog here

This new site from GE ‘smartgrid’ to promote a greener earth is really beautifully designed, great use of Papervision 3D and a nice touch with the augmented reality (shot below). It’s well worth looking at. Unsure which agency produced this so if you know please post in comments so we can credit.

I’m holding off getting my new all singing, all dancing phone until I know a) which one is actually going to be the best and b) when an acceptable deal comes along that doesn’t make me feel like I’m getting ripped off.
The fact that we don’t get the latest handsets straight away, there’s no unlimited data plans and they love 24 month contracts in Aus doesn’t actually help much on either account. But when I see things like this I’m optimistic that I’m doing the right thing and not jumping on the iPhone band wagon.
It’s an augmented reality app for the android. Wikitude, developed by Mobilizy is a…”AR travel guide with functionality based on Wikipedia and Panoramio. You search landmarks in your surroundings and view them on a map, list, and on an augmented reality (AR) camera view. You’ll see an annotated landscape, mountain names, landmark descriptions”.
Here’s the demo, what do you think?

Augmented reality, although this seems to be moving along slowly, it does seem to be showing some promise. This demo at Digital Pictures demonstrates how augmented reality brings this papervision character to life through using a webcam and a bit of flash. Surely with the help of some great creative minds this could be put to good use 
Check out Digital Pictures if you would like to test and check it out for yourself
