Have you tried Hoppala??

Well here is a very cool site that you must try especially if you have a smart phone.
http://www.hoppala-agency.com/

  This site allows you to create cool Augmented reality tags,videos and other 3d stuffs on ordinary Google maps that you see. It is a Location Based Tracking System. This means that if you point your smartphone camera around you then you can see floating animations and sounds depicting where exactly is a given building and its route.

I had tried a bit on this and created a channel in Junaio to make a Location Based Tracking System. If you have a smartphone and are staying in UT Arlington, you can use my channel to find out where different buildings are in the campus by just moving your phone around you. My Channel can be found as AbhinavAR in its list of channels.

Future through AR Rights

 Here is a speech by John C.Havens who is the founder of Transitional Media at the InsideAR 2011 Conference. An awesome speech about AR Rights. AR Rights refer to Virtual Advertisement Rights that will become a very important part of the world in the near future. You see a number of Augmented Reality stuffs around you nowdays. There needs to be some rules governing them. That's what Mr.Havens talks about. It's a wide open field and the future rules of augmented reality depend on it.

He also gives an insight of how we can combine augmented reality with other 'cool' technologies like NFC to make a real difference in the world. If you thought your private life is being invaded by Google and others, wait till what would happen when Augmented Reality peaks to its best. Ever movie that you see, everything that you do can be passed around as information to others in the surrounding. This is quite scary as it sounds. Hence there is a need to have some rules to govern the technology and make it useful to the society.

The future depends on Augmented Reality. Every field is being augmented. If you goto a McDonald's or a Wendy's and order a burger, what if all the nutritional information is being sent to you as well as your family and your doctor as well? If you are a Cholestrol patient, will it not give a chance for your doctor and family to warn you before you devour that stuff? But there is a need to monitor the usage of such technology and hence there is an need to lay some rules for it.
