Cell phone v. Zombies
This is so freaking cool. I've seen examples of augmented reality before, but this really shows how interactive and potentially fun this could be.
The graphics seem to be limited by the hardware at this point... Wouldn't it be easier to just transmit the output of the camera to a desktop computer, have the much beefier computer do all of the processing, and then send the processed image back to the cell phone device?
My guess is that sending all of that video data would cause a lot of lag... but then again I just saw a demo of this other really cool technology that allows you to play graphics intensive games in your browser, and all of the heavy lifting is done by servers. If they can do it over the Internet, I don't see why they wouldn't be able to do it in this case.

You should follow the blog that I am a contributor to, created by/for the digital group at McCann. It's anablog23.blogspot.com - Check out the most recent post I did about the absolute most recent implementation of Augmented Reality as a mobile phone browser, which lets users interact with their real world surroundings. They can find apartments for sale, restaurant recommendations, etc. http://anablog23.blogspot.com/2009/06/first-mobile-augmented-reality-browser_17.html
