I can’t seem to find any truly groundbreaking developments in AR-world. It all seems to still be markers and Layar-clones nowamonths.

In a a followup to a recently posted conceptfilm of the World Series of Tubing, I found this interview actually showing how it works. Nice!

Concept video to replace billboards with moving pictures. The Artvertiser: Augmented Billboards. from Julian Oliver on Vimeo.

It’s hard to dig through my sources to seperate the actual new stuff from the stuff [...]
