Real VR...


It sounds like there is some very interesting research coming out of Nokia. They've stuffed a camera phone with a bunch of location detection gear for a single purpose: overlaying information on top of the video capture screen. In a sense, they are doing real-time VR through the camera on the phone. Want to know what's on the menu at an eatery? Point your camera at it from the street and see the information in real time. If this is the future of cell phone use...I'm a happy guy.
