Das Miniatur Wunderland in #Hamburg zeigt mit Augmented Reality, wie sich eine #Erderwärmung um zwei oder fünf Grad auf bekannte Orte wie #Venedig, die #Alpen oder Schloss #Neuschwanstein auswirken könnte.

Die Simulation macht #Überschwemmungen, #Dürren und #Brände sichtbar und soll #Klimawandel greifbar darstellen.

Pretty wild that I can model a new built-in media center in Fusion 360, export it to USD, and use AR in iOS to walk around it in the space I’m going to build it. #augmentedreality #cad #fusion360 #maker #woodworking

At The Cloisters, residents are sidestepping augmented reality (AR) dependency by relying on their natural memory. They remember names, scents and even how to care for the sick – skills that challenge the growing reliance on digital aids. This is one of many possible futures in the report "The Augmented City," which explores how AR could affect urban life.

Great job Greg Lindsay at Cornell Tech!

Apple has allegedly scrapped plans for AR glasses that would pair with an Apple device. They would have been cheaper than the standalone Apple Vision Pro, but might have been less useful since they'd be tethered to a Mac. #Apple #AugmentedReality #N107 #AR https://buff.ly/4hBQbnd

Predicting the “digital superpowers” we could have by 2030

“Mainstream computing will start to shift from a race to develop increasingly powerful tools to a race to develop increasingly powerful abilities.”

"Eternity was in our lips and eyes. O brave new world, That has such people in it!"
- William Shakespeare

So that's why Santa is always late.. ;-)

Our kitchen tile told me this story, so I had to animate it! Wishing you all a merry Xmas - or whatever you like to celebrate at this time of the year!

(The AR also works in the kitchen of my neighbours :)

So, there’s this TV ad for the Meta Quest showing a guy putting together flat-pack furniture, struggling (been there done that), then the AR/VR capability of the headset puts 3-D instructions in front of him and it’s easy.

Never tried the product, but I think the ad is important because it’s the first ever straightforward marketing pitch for consumer AR. And a good pitch, IMHO.
