I’m On Vacation.

Mark Wanczak — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 05:07:36 +0000

The last year has been strange, unpredictable and frankly, disappointing. Our years are numbered, so I’m escaping into the wilderness for a week to consider how to make the next 12 months unfold a bit more in my favor.

Get busy living or get busy dying.

Augmented reality was all the rage earlier this year, but only a few brands found creative ways to the make the technology useful, rather than just eye candy. Since then, the hype has seemed to die down a bit, but companies are still coming up with ways to take advantage of AR. One of my favorite recent examples is the Olympus Pen Demo. And I just caught this one from Audi today.

Though not as feature-heavy, I like the original idea behind the use of AR. Isn’t that Ferris Bueller’s music?
