Nubot is a doll ready to host smartphone video chats via Skype.

The remote user can control the doll’s body gestures (wave, bow, turn) giving them more of a physical presence.

The folks at Nuuo that developed Nubot use it to have teleconferences between their offices.

We’ve seen a more mobile, albeit less cute, telepresence robot named Texai in the past.

110 Stories imposes an outline view of the Twin Towers on the NYC skyline using augmented reality.

Based on your location, the app offers a glimpse back of how the towers figured into the cityscape from multiple vantage points. The app also encourages people to comment and share their memories and impressions of the augmented skyline.

 

The project, from artist Brian August, reached its goal on Kickstarter just in time for the 10 year anniversary of 9/11.

An Augmented Reality nod to the (cinematic) past


July 22nd, 2011  |  Friends  |  Categories: Augmented Reality, Inspiration, Mobile, Video  |  Tags: , ,  | 

A number of cool augmented reality apps have sprouted up recently that infuse the modern day street perspective with winks to the past — for instance, the Museum of London’s StreetMuseum app.

A similar app, Augmented Reality Cinema, pulls on the heartstrings of cinephiles, playing scenes from famous movies at the location where they were filmed in London. It’s such a simple idea, but also such a satisfying example of how the mobile technology we carry around with us everywhere can provide playful new ways to see and appreciate our surroundings.
