I’ve been attempting to lose weight with the Cambridge diet these past couple of months and it’s going well. Will try and update soon to let you guys know how it’s going, so far I’ve lost 20 pounds in 4 months!

I harmonise with your conclusions and also can eagerly look forward to your next updates. Simply saying thanks will certainly not simply just be enough, for the phenomenal lucidity in your writing. I will directly grab your rss feed to stay informed of any updates. De lightful work and much success in your business dealings!

I am student of the CICESE research center in B.C., Mexico,
I agree with your comments.

I wanna mix tagging technologies, ubiquitous tecnologies, etc to create a AR platform

I like to have contact with you to share ideas

Thanks

I think you are right to focus on workable rather than entirely accurate examples, especially those that combine many different data sources to “augment” reality in the form of a video/still image.

One major problem with combining disparate data sources is of course interoperability. In order to really get off the ground we would need clear interfaces that enabled cross-platform communication, for example, a Starbucks Wifi signal emitted by a Belkin router would need to be combined with an iPhone compass and a large map-based database (e.g. GoogleMaps). We also need intelligent systems to make sense of the mess of data. I think currently these intelligent systems are not up to scratch.

I also think Tim’s analogy with Machine Translation is apt: I can read a piece of good-enough Google Machine Translation and understand what is going on. Exact accuracy is not required; if it was required I would employ a professional (human) translator.

(Build a sonic pinger into the handset?) Then you can rely on sight and sound, which is what humans do to a large extent.
