Some very early results with Augmented Reality (AR) on an iPhone 3G. This video shows an adaptation of the Parallel Tracking and Mapping system to an iPhone. All processing is done live on the phone.

I saw this movie, PAPER HEART, and I think it is supposed to be a ‘documentary’ about an AZN who ‘isn’t very pretty, but has a good heart.’ She doesn’t believe in love, and she…

I saw this today too at a test screening. Is Carles a Londoner? The movie is ok. Although it relies on the audience to buy into two conflicting artifices that don’t make sense together. But CHARLYNE YI IS ADORABLE.

“thisMoment is an inventive new service that gives people a platform for to saving and sharing their life’s Moments. By incorporating everything people already do on the Web and on mobile devices photo- and video-sharing, blogging and social networking thisMoment allows people to easily and spontaneously capture meaningful Moments, and share them with their family and friends.” (via thismomentdotcom)

This seems like a wonderful idea - but since it has launched with a bang with high profile backing rather than iterating over time with the help of a dedicated community, I think it could be destined to be taken up avidly by mums and companies, never getting popular enough for a bunch of active users to pressure it into being great rather than good. As all irritating wankers conclude after rubbishing a new product they know hardly anything about, “I’m happy to be proved wrong.”

This Twitter-like, multimedia-minded lifestream is a good idea. Entry-specific privacy settings and archival features are a big plus, but I’m a little worried that the rich visual interface won’t be so mobile friendly. If I can’t check my friends’ streams easily on the go I don’t see myself using it much. Plus there’s the name. They should’ve picked something that doesn’t make you sing this song in your head.

I just hope this is the first step towards an autonomous lifestream á la The Whale Hunt.
