Well, we have talked previously about the Semantic Web and it’s theorized implications on travel, but never about AR. However, this post from ReadWriteWeb and video from the firm developing this nifty little app seemed like the perfect introduction of AR to our readers. So, what is AR? Basically, it is adding a layer of information to the real world (around you), using technology. Watch the video, visuals help.
(Watching via email? The video is also here.)
Pretty amazing, right? If you did not watch the video, at least watch the first couple of seconds.
So, you can begin to see the basic idea…adding layers or data to the world around us via using GPS, your phone and a whole lot of information gathering. But let’s take the idea of AR to the travel industry.
