It's gonna be a shame for a while to watch AR go down a road of silly, meaningless PR McJobs... But THEN it will rise! :-) But I don't mind, every new technology starts off with silly applications... and for all those marketing guys (ladies included ;)) it's still too fresh to understand its true power. :-) I so agree to every word you posted today, Tom!

The referance to magic seems pretty thin on Always' part though. Honestly, the rabbit in the hat distrubed me and I'm not squeemish about "lady products". I have no problem picking up the wife's products at the grocery store. @ Rouli – I’d forgotten about the kotex one that’d you posted. The referance to magic seems pretty thin on Always’ part though.

Amazingly enough, this is not the first "lady product" to have an AR ad - http://artimes.rouli.net/2009/05/kotex-augmented-reality.html The magic part though is a reference that this new pad works like magic. I actually went and checked the site out. I was just about to post it (but looked for the correct wording so I won’t offend anyone).

Plus, it's open source and 100% free. http://onezerothrice.com/artisan I’d like to point out that OneZeroThrice has already created a tool to allow Flash developers to create fully interactive (read: not just gimmicky), browser based AR with no need to learn the inner workings of marker detection.
