There was an inspiring AR congress in Rotterdam, NL, on 4th of Dec and I had the honor to be in the hosting team with Claire Boonstra (from famous LAYAR) Christina Rittchen (Mobilizy – the guys from Austria, who created Wikitude), Truus Dokter of ItFits, Jan Misker (project manager for V2_ AR), Artm Baguinski, Carl William Kerchmar, Kwela Sabine Hermanns.

Anthony, I like the four building blocks and the graphics. It is a kind of superconvergence of
# mobile/local,
# social,
# sensors,
# stream/realtime,
# create/share … and a
# bit of intelligence in microformats and algorithms (semantic is not dead).
It is great to be witness of the tech evolution supernova of the next years. Hope we can fix the planet too

Augmented Citizen – Mobile Augmented Reality Summit @ MWC2010 « future facts blog
[...] When I brought the concept of the “Augmented Citizen” into being it was rather narrow, thanks to the context of Government 2.0 Camp in August 2009 (see slideshare.net). Then in December I realized the full potential and future usage patterns of (Social) Mobile Augmented Reality at the AR meeting in Rotterdam (NL). In the keynote I even encouraged the folks to think beyond the interaction concepts and sensory channels of today, when thinking about augmentation. E.g. we can have augmentation and overlays of other perceptive fields than the visual – and with al kinds of immersion in a social-networked surroundings (see this blog: Augmented Citizen – next: augmented reality ecosystem).
