Mobile Augmented Reality (MARA) with a Nokia N95: A New Video and Some New Questions

I have posted on Augmented Reality as a key trend since February 2005 when I started blogging. It still one of the topics I really enjoy. Below you can watch a short demonstration video on how our mobile phones (already using an old Nokia N95 !) will be the most important (and seventh) mass medium around from now on.

In my view Augmented Reality is the logical evolutionary endpoint of normal barcodes, shot codes, QR codes, RFID and SkuAir latest (branded) barcode. Mobile Augmented Reality seems to be the most intuitive technology. However, all mentioned technologies will co-exist. Mobile Augmented Reality is in my view relevant for more classic, static, long term, social, historical and nonprofit information on large object/subjects from large distances, the different (bar)code technologies are relevant for commercial, ecological, short-distance, timely, dynamic and ad hoc purposes while RFID has a very broad range of possible applications (medical, logistical, short range).

Some questions I have are:
- What will be the impact on the classic (mobile) search engines in terms of reach, usage and relevancy when Mobile Augmented Reality really starts taking off ? Search engines are indirect, take a few clicks and centralized. In my view, the decentralized, direct search capabilities of Mobile Augmented Reality apps are more consumer centric and will lower the impact of search engines over time. How will Google respond to Nokia in this respect ? Interestingly, yesterday Google announced a a new precision image search technology based on content analysis of the image at hand (a PageRank technology for images !)
- When we consider the four segmentation levels of our digital and physical world (me, my social network, my peers and the market/the public as a whole), how will Mobile Augmented Reality apps and information be structured and presented to the end user while he is coping with information overload, physical targets, spam, irrelevancy and shorter time spans/concentration bursts ? In my view the augmented digital information layer will be primarily be fed with tags/information/alerts from my own past (personal) usage (me -> emomapping for example based on GPS data combined with the AR layer) and my social network (e.g., TripIt, Dopplr, Twitter, Hyves LBS, Jaiku, Facebook etc.). In some cases a digital AR layer with tags, comments, ratings and recommendeded flags from my peer group or even the market as whole will still be useful but its impact will be lower relative to the current situation. Its emotional distance is larger relative to me and my social network with all its lifestreams/lifelogging boosting the notion of living parallel lives. This is an intensified way to explore the physical world.
- Will the usage of mobile augmented reality apps boost serendipity on the local, physical level or will it boost planned behaviour in advance with people optimizing/maximizing their lives (e.g., planning all highlights of best rated objects on my peer- and market/public at large-levels while consuming the bottom-up my social network and personal information on objects while physically near). I believe it will be the former scenario: more ad hoc, bottom up, exploratory search behavior using mobile AR. Go with the flow, spontaneity, Power of Now flocking and exploration. Smart Mobs realized.

What do you think about these questions ?

determine on not to spend cash real UGG boots, you receive the possibility of leading to considerable, extensive expression harm in your ft and again.

Head inside the British School of Osteopathic Medicine, Dr Ian Drysdale, pointed out, ??Because these boots are warm and delicate, younger girls presume they're providing their ft a break. Like a matter of fact, they're actually breaking their ft.

The outcome might be important difficulty with each other with the foot, the ankle, and eventually, the hip.?¡¥

Ways to Notify If Uggs Are Faux ¡§C Some Suggestions

1. The sheep fur lining around the within of of actual UGG boots is created of quality A sheepskin and it is of the beige shade. The lining of fake Uggs is synthetic, somewhat prickly to the touch and is also a added white shade.

two. You may notice the paint-like scent of producer new faux Uggs, that?¡¥s a result of one's dyes produced usage of to shade the artificial merchandise. Fresh authentic UGG boots are pretty a superb offer odorless.

three. Real UGG boots may perhaps not be low priced at around $150 a pair. A new http://www.globalsaleboots.com>ugg boots week
significantly significantly less will nearly certainly be fake.

four. UGG Australia prohibit their authorized dealers from offering UGG boots on eBay along with other on-line auctions. So, if it might be on eBay, and claims to be brand-new then you?¡¥ll come across it acquired to get fake.

5. The stitching on real Uggs is constantly pretty noticeably suitable. The label on the heel is unquestionably lifeless centre and degree. Faux Uggs will not generally stick to their example.

6. Ultimately, you could find that the soles of fake Uggs are rigid compared to actual Uggs. Also the soles of genuine Uggs are about 1/2 inch deep as in comparison to 1/4 inch for fakes.

I take into consideration it's going to be a sensible choose for you personally to adhere to my help and advice about how 1 can inform if Uggs are pretend.
