- Your vote:
- Yes No

- Description:
- Augmented Reality has been around for a while, but recently has bubbled up into Flash web apps through PaperVision, and camera object detection magic FLARToolkit. Also, experimental integrations into mobile devices have introduced a special element to hand-held gaming, where something akin to scifi holograms are possible. Is AR just a trend or market ready technology?
