Augmented Reality

Mobile Portland tonight features two speakers who are early innovators in augmented reality. P. Mark Anderson is the platform architect for Spot Metrix which provides an augmented reality library for iPhone called 3DAR. The second speaker, Tim Sears, created Robotvision, one of the first augmented reality applications for iPhone.

Mark and Tim will share how people are using augmented reality, their experiences using augmented reality, and what the future holds for this new technology.

Mark Anderson, the platform architect for the 3DAR augmented reality SDK, also moderates the Helpful iPhone Utilities open source project, as well as My Maps, an augmented reality iPhone app built on top of Google’s personalized mapping system.


Not to put too fine a point on it, but I plan to ask Mark about any GayDAR enhancements. That could come in handy when you weigh nearly 300 lbs (like me).



Tim Sears, who developed Robotvision, is a software engineer who works for PR firm Waggener Edstrom. He creates location-based augmented reality experiences for the iPhone in his spare time. His work in augmented reality and social media analytics has been featured in major publications such as ReadWriteWeb, TechCrunch and CNET, and has won several awards.
