Augmented Reality hidden in Yelp on Iphone

Augmented Reality on Iphone

The hot trend of 2009 has to be augmented reality, particularly with all the impressive tech demos and futuristic games currently in development across the world.

On the iPhone in particular, several companies have promised Twittering, search, and other navigation using layers of real-time data overlaid onto live video from the iPhone’s camera. Imagine a heads-up display on reality itself, and that’s what augmented reality is promising.

Apple has been onboard with these developments, promising that the upcoming OS 3.1 will provide full compatibility for AR apps. But it turns out we don’t need to wait after all. In addition to French and British AR map programs hitting the App Store early, a much better and cooler solution has been lurking under our eyes the whole time.

Called “Monocle,” it’s an Easter egg within Yelp. As in, Yelp 3.0, the one that’s currently available on the App Store. When I first read a tweet about it, I was disbelieving. But all you have to do is shake your phone three times like in some fairy tale to trigger the Monocle button, which suddenly appears on the top of the screen.

Meet MYLO - Photolinks very own virtual EyePet

Meet Mylo our very own virtual EyePet born and bred in the Photolink gallery today. For those who have been sleeping in a cave for the past year,  EyePet is a virtual pet simulator that takes advantage of the PlayStation Eye. With the addition of a “magic card,” players will be able to play with a virtual monkey that lives in augmented reality. The television will display what the PlayStation Eye sees: you, and your body. Your on-screen pet will then be able to respond to all your actions. You’ll be able to virtually pet the creature on the head, grab a bowl of food and feed it, and play a variety of mini-games. The tactile sensation of owning a pet will be gone, but instead will be an unworldly adorable creature that uses tech that feels like it’s from the future.  The MUST HAVE present for the kids at Xmas.  Some video footage seen on Youtube
