Everyday augmented reality

Not only Google glasses, but smartphones are already part of making augmented reality dream real.

When we worked with context photography, we exlored new possibilites for everyday phography experiences. Visual effects based on senorinput from movement, temperature, sound etc. Playing with the digital possibilities of camera technology to achieve a new phototgraphy experience as well as on the resulting pictures.

Today, the camera is used for millions of things that is augmenting and adding to what our own senses can experience. It's like experiencing the world through a whole new set of sensation and perception possibilities.  In the future I want every cartrip to be a backseat adventure through the cameralense, and see the world how it looked a hundred years ago, today, and I want to play with the surroundings and see and change the world. This is also empowering people to see "beyond" what is on the label in the store... and make a change.

Some examples of playing/seeing other things through the camera lense:

Reality mindcraft
Backseatgaming
Context photography
Buycott

And there are millions of apps already....
