TweetIn this video Simon Wynda (I’m guessing at the spelling) gives a Core Tools for Augmented Reality demo. This demo was featured at the Microsoft Research Cambridge Lab on May 6th. Simon demonstrates a geospatial AR application that recognizes its location from images and GPS data. Location notes are annotated in the view in one …
TweetOnce again, Rouli at the Augmented Times has found another interesting set of videos. This time displaying a fascinating advance in augmented reality. So far, all AR, markerless or not, has been confined to using a 2D flat space as its jumping off point. The 3D shape can be anywhere based on the coordinate system the …
TweetVernor Vinge, the mathematician and author, once predicted the technological singularity which states that computational technology once achieving a certain threshold would accelerate past human intelligence. This possibility sounds like fiction, but it’s a concern serious technologists have voiced. Recently, a team of researchers in Aberystwyth Univserity in Wales, created a robot that could formulate theories and …
