If you've got a newish S60 phone and access to some mysterious black and white codes, you too can have a bit of fun with augmented reality!

Augmented Reality on my Nokia

Just go to gofindit.net where you can download the application and the codes. The codes will work just as well on an LCD screen as well as printed out. Actually, I think they work better on a back-lit screen rather than 'old school' paper.

The clever technology behind all this is from HIT Lab NZ (the NZ stands for New Zealand, funnily enough) and they have a bunch of interesting projects on their site, including ones you can download and have a play with. In this instance they licensed the technology to agency Wunderman for a Ford Ka campaign promoted by wearesocial.

Oh and that rather fine and flexible laptop in the video is the Tecra M9 from Toshiba (I sadly had to say goodbye to it earlier...)

Impressive! Lots of potential for future gaming.

Have you given it ago yet? There's not much to it as it's just promoting a few Ka's, but it's still fun to try out. Can't wait to see what is around the corner!
