Augmented Reality Toys is a prototype, asking the question how we might play if wearing a head mounted AR viewer device.

Porthole is an augmented reality application, powered by Pachube, that provides a view into the data environments hosted by Pachube.

As the principle MR technology device, the video see-through head mounded display (HMD), which incorporates two compact built-in cameras, eliminates the parallax that would occur between the lines of sight of an observer and the camera for each eye. When wearing the HMD, computer–generated (CG) virtual objects appear to exist in real space, enabling the observer to easily grasp the scales of the virtual objects within real world surroundings.

IBM’s data baby is analyzed, manipulated and commodified from birth onwards. If we let this trend continue, the next step could be analyzing male sperm and female eggs, so that we’ll know beforehand what brand of diapers or baby food we should buy for our unborn kids. And this is a development I wouldn’t want to applaud.

What’s the difference between Ubiquitous Computing (ubicomp) and Augmented Reality (AR)?
