Three Future-Looking Videos Of Augmented Reality For Business

Jeremiah: I am completely fascinated with this space and the potential of it for the furniture industry. If I can, I would love to attend a conference around it and/or take the tools and apply them as a “virtual” case study re: the furniture industry and present it as a breakout to retailers.

Thanks, Jeremiah-you are always shining the light for the rest of us so we can see a bit more clearly what lies ahead.

Def. very interested.
Talking of early experiments, have you seen what Ikea is up to? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Utp3-kTPKY

Leslie. Yes, there are opportunities for the furnishing space to overlay a real world house with potential products. It’s very possible.

Antonella, that’s what Leslie was talking about. Think about impacts for Amazon, BestBuy, Target, WalMart and other retailers beyond just furniture.

Hey Jeremiah.

I see a huge opportunity for AR and live events. Being able to connect with others, schedules, local attractions etc. Hope to have some things to share on this in the near future.

Dirk

Thanks for the mention, Jeremiah. GoWeb3D is spending a lot of time with AR these days both the QR code variety — where the user points his/her webcam at a code and sees AR on the screen — and the mobile, GPS based, where we integrated Yelp, Flickr, Wikipedia, UDR apartments, and others with the Layar Reality Browser. As we experiment more with AR, I’m confident that we’ll identify uses that everyone — first adopter techie or not — will find useful. Being able to decorate the interior of your room via AR, is just one compelling example. Consider also: integrating AR into live sporting events so that users can not only learn about the game, teams, players etc on the fly, but also easily find the restroom! Entertainment will be entirely transformed by AR when film clips, music, promotions, games, even AR friends will be retrieved out of thin air. We’re headed into something very exciting and I’m thrilled to be participating. Best regards, Dave

The AR is a very cool thing, we are now working to transform our activity user graphs into AR as well, it will be cool.

You may want to consider speaking to @GaryPHayes. He is head of Advanced Media design at Australian Film Television and Radio School. His article on 16 business uses of augmented reality was picked up by Wired and can be found here

Oops forgot to say he teaches workshops were attendees create AR apps

Hi Jeremiah. I’m really glad to see you turning your attention to AR – it is undoubtedly going to be one of the major areas of interface development over the next 12 months. I look forward to hearing your opinion once you get further under the skin of this exciting new development. very best, Alastair.

Hey Jeremiah: Thanks for commenting on my post. I am watching this area very closely as I know,eventually, either IKEA or someone else very smart will see the potential and dive in.

Pls. keep in touch with me-this has huge applications for all of us in the home furnishings space. I am speaking again in Las Vegas next February and if any of these companies want to touch base with me for a possible demo of their product during my presentation-please let me know. They can reach me at leslie@tkpartnership.com.

Thanks!

As a fellow geek- augmented reality apps look cool.

As a devils advocate / realist, I can’t help but think- while these applications could provide valuable data in a very unique way, stop and think about from a cultural perspective, will the mainstream really use their phones to do this?

I mean, just think of all the studies and your own usage of your camera phone. It’s a low percentage in regards to the number of people who actually use their camera in their phone. That said, there seems to be a bigger shift here more than the development of the technology itself. Just food for thought from my perspective.

#AR is an amazing technology because it allows us to look at the existing world with new eyes.

When my great-grandparents immigrated from Japan, they were overwhelmed with a world entirely in English. AR would enable visitors to look at “our” signs in “their” languages — and that’s just for starters.

What a way to get more tourism to your community, especially for those Russians and Chinese with lots of ready cash!

And…think about augmented reality on your bookshelf — instead of merely looking at the book titles on the spine, you could see thumbnails of the pages you or your friends had “dog-eared” — with, of course, the ability to jump to those pages.

If you made notes about that book, you could have the option of sharing those notes with the author, and be able to access the author’s responses by looking at the book using #AR, instead of going through the far clumsier activity of going to your computer to get information about that book!!

I think maybe the answers you are looking for will be best answered by asking a different question, and I would suggest technology people (without generalising) are not necessarily the best people to answer this question.

Instead of asking how this will impact business, ask how will this impact human behavior and interaction. For example, MIT nailed this approach earlier this year by asking how this technology can improve upon the decision making process. I think this is the key, business applications that support the decision making process.

Great post Jeremiah, I am suddenly having flash back from Microsoft surface and wearable UI’s discussions from TED 2 years ago. I wonder based on your research, can you tell in which areas are AR likely to mature and make a greater impact in the near future?

Wow I am really good at predicting the future – but I suck at timescales

One more example for Augmented Reality is the Google SkyMap | Beyond The Beyond http://j.mp/8hkos

@fcseh – on twitter

Thinking about wikipedia on an AR browser, or a Google/Apple/Microsoft book-reader using AR … and many other possibilitis that can make “keep it simple” to keep it big. ☼

J: I found your post dejavu and akin to when IBM announced it was using LAN technology (something Jobs did at NEXT back in the late 1980′s). For real ‘out there’ AR, check out FXPAL at Xerox Park. They have some of the foremost geeks (we’re taking seriously geek) who’ve been working on AR for like the last six or seven years. You want to see the future… go visit them. And no, I don’t work for them nor am I paid by them. I just found some of their work a trip.

Really interesting stuff. I am interested in your discussion.

Jeremiah,

Can you make a place where we can all submit our Augmented Reality Ideas – sort of a crowdsource. Many ideas won’t work but some might be useful.

[...] One of the more intriguing trends in technology is augmented reality. For those of you who aren’t familiar with what augmented reality is, please view a recent post by Jeremiah Owyang – Three Future-Looking Videos of Augment Reality. [...]

Good idea, I’ll do a future post on this topic.

I also made a post about this recently and my conclusion was that the b2b market is overlooked. Has anybody seen any good dedicated b2b solutions? Alone the wow factor can be used to create attention to a company even for a not very advanced solutions like the Lego in store promotion display has done.

Am very interested in the possibilities of AR in the museum/cultural arts/historic sites environs–and would be very interested in “virtually” attending a Hangar meeting in 1Q10-thank you for writing and keeping us up to date on your thoughts on AR.

Cool, looks like I’m going to get to meet: Nikolaj Nyholm, CEO, Polar Rose.

Hi Jeremiah,
At the SDForum (http://www.sdforum.org/vwsig) Virtual World SIG (http://virtualworldsig.com/) we’ll be expanding our range of topics in 2010 to encompass augmented reality. We’re local so let me know of interesting developments or companies we can partner to include for SIG meetups. We’re having a “Future of…” workshop on 10/13 and will be posting details this week. Join in!
