Today we’re all carrying around not phones in our pockets, but sensors. These sensors are capable of processing information, and taking pictures, as well as knowing where we are and how fast we’re moving, These sensors used to cost thousands of dollars and weigh tens of pounds. Now they’re available to everyone.
This presentation will cover a history of augmented reality and mobile connectivity, as well as where the market is today and how it can be leveraged to deliver groundbreaking interactive campaigns and engaging media. We'll dive into some of the augmented reality campaigns, pros and cons of AR and QR codes, and a series of platforms on which you can make your own location based augmented reality applications. Also discussed is http://geoloqi.com, a service and platform for building location-aware applications.

A QR Code is a specific matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code), readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and camera phones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be text, URL or other data.

In Japan,QR Code penetration is pretty high, nearly every Nokia smartphone has a reader app already on it, and it is used a lot. In the US, you hardly ever see it in practical application.

It’s visual. There’s a difference between having to find the app on your phone, load it, find the qr reader button or AR view, hold it up to the sky, wait for it to load, and look at the world around you.It looks like this. And it looks ridiculous!Look at google –Look at Facebook – it’s relevant and quick to load.
(show heads up displays) and until these are engineered to look less ridiculous, then it’s a good idea to think of something else.
Nielsen today estimates that by the end of 2011, smartphones will overtake feature phones in the U.S.

In real life, the time and space between goals and accomplishments is often large. For some, it is physically impossible to achieve certain things, like purchasing a Ferrari or rising above middle management in their career path. Online gaming, especially sites like Farmville, step in to take care of that void. Whereas one doesn’t have the money, time or room for a real garden, Farmville gives you one without the backaching labor. All reality is replaced by small icons, and time is compressed so that goals and accomplishments are right next to one another. Everything has a point value and a reward. When real life takes so long to reward someone, online gaming is often a better and more enjoyable alternative. For those who spend a lot of time in reality, Foursquare is a good add-on for making the mundane exciting.

In a reputation economy, one levels up or down after gaining or losing friends or followers. How much one levels up depends on the quality and actual connectedness of a friend or follower.On Twitter, people with similar stats can talk to each other. Again, the Internet is not giving people stats, it is making visible stats that people already have between each other, and offering the opportunity for people in different geographies and times to connect with one another based on these stats.
I gave this talk, and then started building what I was talking about.

If I’m not work by 9Am send my boss a text that I’ll be 15 min late. If I’m walking downtown, send a message that if I go into Gap in 15 minutes, will get 15% off. If the app knows I’m hungry it will have pre-queried information for me.
Geoloqi is a platform for building location aware applications with triggers. You can use it to build your own custom branded app. There’s an SDK and an API, and there are layers.
Children will enter into a hyperconnected world where they will begin to program it. They will use systems as playgrounds Allow them opportunities for playAnd they will create very intelligent things.
You can contact me at case@geoloqi.com, and my partner Aaron Parecki is in the audience to help answer any questions you might have about geolocation. He’s the lead developer on the Geoloqi project. You can also find more information at Business.geoloqi.com or contact us at info@geoloqi.com. Also, all of the slides are available at slideshare.net/caseorganic.
