    Sounds awesome. The fact that Dave Stewart's Beard is below the article just makes it magical.

    Haha very interesting, if this turns out to be true and possible and I can start using it I will buy an iPhone to try this out....im not holding my breath just yet.

    This seems to be one of those technologies which seems too good to be true.

    That seems to be the panel's consensus too, alas. We'll see.

    I was amazed with the presentation, Takahito Iguchi is my hero.
  • Anthony Ha · 1 year ago
    Agreed! PS I think I was staring at the back of your head for most of the session.

    I'm now regretting my decision not to send in my pitch for a teleportation iPhone app to TC50.

    Next year -- jetpacks!
  • Joe Lazarus · 1 year ago
    Actually, I've included jetpack functionality in the latest beta of my
    teleportation app. It's one of the premium features that you get when you
    upgrade to the paid version.

    It's really hard to tell exactly what they are doing here, if anything. Augmented reality can work, but it's difficult, and there are several methods. This looks like what I call "messy" augmented reality in which the overlay on the screen does not correspond to the world in any meaningful way. That's the hard part: orientation and registration, which they don't seem to be doing. If so, it's not nearly as cool as it seems and people were blown away because they don't know what they are looking at. That said, someone will make something like this work at some point, maybe even tonchidot. It is doable. Full disclosure: I will announce a related idea (but more pragmatic) at next week's mobilize conference.

    The Q&A panel with the founders and the judges was hilarious! - The most funny thing I have seen on any conference in a very long time.

    Here is a video recording of the Q&A:

    Thanks for sharing this demo with us. I've seen experiments with augmented reality done before by my students, and I remember seeing a Nokia demo about this about 1 year ago at Nokia World. In any case, thanks for the story, I used it on my show today.

    Is it Real?
    Impossible!

    There is no way to catch the derection in iPhone....
    RFID is not usable....
    And without special Ideas, They must need huge data that thay cannot treat...

    and....

    Geovector is better and more real solution.
