Lego again THERE with its Lego AR Kiosk. It works by a consumer holding up the packaging to the AR kiosk, which then activates an animation. Though this is a gimmick, it's effective given that there's no barrier to entry/use. Everything the consumer needs for AR is already there: the marker (in this instance the packaging) and the kiosk with integrated high-end computer, the Webcam and software. How does a parent resist denying their child this toy after the child has watched it animate before his or her eyes?

The first mobile Augmented Reality browser premiers in the Netherlands

Five Dutch content providers to participate in the worlds first AR browser

AMSTERDAM, Tuesday June 16th, 2009. Mobile innovation company SPRXmobile launches Layar, worlds first mobile Augmented Reality browser, which displays real time digital information on top of reality (of) in the camera screen of the mobile phone. While looking through the phones camera lens, a user can see houses for sale, popular bars and shops, jobs, healthcare providers and ATMs. The first country to launch Layar is The Netherlands. Launching partners are local market leaders ING (bank), funda (realty website), Hyves (social network), Tempo-team (temp agency) and Zekur.nl (healthcare provider).

How it works Layar is derived from location based services and works on mobile phones that include a camera, GPS and a compass. Layar is first avaliable for handsets with the Android operating system (the G1 and HTC Magic). It works as follows: Starting up the Layar application automatically activates the camera. The embedded GPS automatically knows the location of the phone and the compass determines in which direction the phone is facing. Each partner provides a set of location coordinates with relevant information which forms a digital layer. By tapping the side of the screen the user easily switches between layers. This makes Layar a new type of browser which combines digital and reality, which offers an augmented view of the world.

or from the film AVATAR the new AR toys which have been available for fans. This is a crazy fun demo of the new [|Avatar] toys by Mattel. Each toy includes a little card that is scannable via webcam and creates an on-screen [|augmented reality] robot or character. While this is old hat for most of us, Mattel is quite proud of being ahead of the curve and for good reason. You can see more demos [|at AvatarItag.com]. [|Total Immersion] made the technology and even added a little “button” system to the cards. When you touch a spot on the card, the onscreen character pulls a knife, shoots a gun, or recounts part of the story. The added information and data will change over time, up to the release of the movie on December 18. check for more about the toys from MATTEL s special website AVATARITAG
