Augmented Reality Update

A few weeks ago, I posted a blog about John Mayer is using augmented reality with his new album and how the technology will be incorporated into a new book about Michael Jackson which will be released just in time for Christmas.

Augmented Reality is becoming a hot topic. BusinessWeek magazine has an article in its November 23rd issue about the Dutch startup, Layar which makes free software that developers can use to associate digital info with specific locations. On the BusinessWeek website, technology editor Peter Elstrom interviews Stephen H. Wildstrom who wrote an article, “Augmented Reality:Not That Real Yet” for the magazine. You can read the article and listen to the interview here:

Meanwhile, the December 2009 edition of Esquire magazine with Robert Downey, Jr. on the cover is titled the Augmented Reality issue. I think you’ll enjoy this video:

And you’ve got to watch this from Pranav Mistry at TEDIndia

So, how do you see augmented reality being incorporated into your life?
