design, , ,

like the article and comments say, if this could be done in realtime..

At first I thought this was just a gimmick, but after looking at it more closely and thinking about it, I realize it’s kinda brilliant.

To blend simple nearby perspective with an overhead view of where you’d like to go gives a sense of distance and travel you simply can’t get with a regular map. Here’s to hoping this becomes a cartographic trend.

The first true augmented reality application running on the iPhone .. here’s a sneak peek of our ARToolKit v4.4 iPhone. This footage is of an alpha release, but we’re getting up to 10fps video capture and realtime tracking, and we’ve got lots more to come. Stay tuned…
