This video was recently presented at London’s 3D Film Festival at the Barbican. The creator, Keiichi Matsuda is an architect/film maker and understands that the concept of city extends beyond the physical space. Enjoy!
Several weeks ago I walked into Breckenridge Brewery in LoDo for a networking event. It was roughly 4:30 and the place was dead. As I walked up to the counter I saw an amazing piece of hand drawn artwork being worked on by the man behind the counter. It was shocking. Like finding a walrus in the back seat of your car.

Layar is most likely going to be the augmented reality browser. Enjoy!

Lego’s product demo shown below is a great use of augmented reality. Enjoy!
After looking at iButterfly’s application (below) and seeing Layar’s recent announcement that they were adding streaming to help people locate augmented reality enabled objects, I realized that geo-location was another element these augmented reality enabled objects needed. I’m referring to the type of augmented reality that a user sees by looking through a browser and not the...
iButterfly is a playful use of augmented reality, motion sensor and geo-location. Enjoy!
