Zimmo Augmented Reality iPhone housing Belgium

Kjeld — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 08:36:13 +0000

Zimmo, one of the housing sites in Belgium has released an Augmented Reality application for iPhone.

I haven’t seen this before, most of the existing housing sites I know (Funda) publish there content using 3rd party platforms.
This is a good step in branding perspective as a company and I am convinced that this is going to happen more in the future.
If technology is getting simpler then publish platforms will lose appeal for content owners and brand awareness and control takes over.

mixare Free Open Source Augmented Reality Engine

Kjeld — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 15:47:17 +0000

Mixare has been born! A Free Open Source Augmented Reality Browser, which is published under the GPLv3. At the moment mixare is available for the Android platform. It works as a completely autonomous application and is available as well for the development of own implementations.

This is great news for the community and the users! I am very happy that we finaly are going to get the “Linux” of Augmented Reality browsers.
All platforms up until now are actualy NOT browsers. They are of the same basis of the historical ”Vodafone Live” idea.
Which mean you can get listed in the “browser / platform” if Vodafone accepted you and you would do ref share and their content standards.

mixare Demonstration in Appiano (South Tyrol)

The web as we know it today doesn’t work like this. A consumer has a browser and is able to browse (type in an adres or use links) to navigate to content of there liking.
Direct to the producer of that content without interference. We aren’t there yet, but this is a very big step in the right direction.

Lets hope that the Firefox version of unbranded browser will be started by Mozilla or some other foundation (Apache, WebKit.org).
About Mixare, have fun with in you own Android apps. Ik will try to build something for fun.
