AWE 2014 Videos – Trend #4: 3D-Fying the World

The 4th trend that defined AWE 2014 was: From GPS-based experience to 3D –fying the world. The first AR demo on a smartphone in 2008 was based on GPS and it wowed the world. For some nostalgia, here’s that first demonstration on a hill in Austria showing a castle 3 km away with an info bubble extracted from Wikipedia… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EA8xlicmT8] But when we tried it in urban areas or worse indoors – we realized GPS is not accurate enough and it significantly detracted from the experience. But now all of a sudden we have in our hands the tools to map and sense the world in 3D. This is a hugely important factor to make the world a more interactive place! Check out these talks from AWE 2014 looking at different ways to map the world.
