It’s weekend –  so I chill. I listen to Galaxy and enjoy just being.  Regarding just being.  Read this:
“When mind knows, we call it knowledge.
When heart knows, we call it love.
And when being knows, we call it meditation.”
Being simply is.  So… enjoy the music!

“A sketch of how we may some day be able to shop with the help of spatial computing. Spatial computing is the experience of digital 3d objects inhabiting real 3d space in a way that is interactive and intuitive.”

LM3LABS – have truly interesting interactive technologies that is worth checking out… and today they reorganize to be clearer in their offer to the market. I have followed LM3LABS for quite some time and really like their products and services. Good luck guys!

I don’t really like bus shelters. Well -up until today. Check this campaign for the upcoming movie Avatar (and LG cellphones). Using touch screens they turn the bus shelter into a multimedia kiosk… Me like.

And…of course  - MIT – has a very futuristic bus shelter called the EyeStop. Public transport will be so much more fun in the future…

Virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality. Interactive presentation technology is moving fast. It seems to me - that Germany is ahead of things – already at the edge of new technology with new companies popping up and doing amazingly creative work. So: another new innovative company from Frankfurt gets my total attention (and love) - NewMedia Yuppies (what a great company name! haha I wanna be your Yuppie!). They work with Frauenhofer Researchers and Instant reality.  Well worth checking out these links!

But ok, I do love Germany and their innovative companies. Also:  a New Zeeland company called MindSpace Solutions, have some innovative people and products as well. Check out this amazing AR binocular technology! It rocks my socks!

CEO Bruno Uzzan from Total Immersion talks about AR. Worth listening to if you are into new creative marketing solutions… Personally I love the use of AR at events.

Check this video ! This presentation is amazing! No more powerpoints thank you.

Globalzepp (Spain) does interactive projections with AR – and most probably this is gonna be big on events and why not as interactive ads in shops? Nice to see how the use of AR is growing so fast…

The entertainment industry is doing a lot of interesting new stuff as well in the AR business. Check this post from the Future Digital Life blog. Mark Mine, a Walt Disney Imagineering Director, says “Seeing is believing, but touching is truth”…

Globacore (Canada) creates stunningly creative multi-touch solutions, together with event communication agency Taylor Group (Canada).  The software is Snowflake using its vision tracker feature. Check out the recent project at Aldar booth at Cityscape Dubai 2009. Globacore has done several installations in Dubai worth checking out - for ex YAS Island where “Ferrari Theme Park” and “Ferrari World” is located. On this surrreal Island – Ferrari cars are more common than people… They have budget for creating cutting edge event marketing projects and… its awesome, I love it etc. etc…
