Don't watch these videos as they show something pretty damn awesome!

I'm about to embed a video below these words of mine.  The video is of a hands-on demonstration that a bunch of so-called Mobile Geeks of London*, including my good self, witnessed last week.

In a nutshell this is augmented reality.  Read up on it, this is the 'internet of things'.  Point a phone at a special code (or at a distinguishable object/building/picture) and and added details will appear on screen superimposed on the live image of what your phone's camera sees.

Anyway... if I think this is so great, why would I not want you to see the videos?  Well, for a start, they don't do the experience justice.  And, you really should try it for yourself before you've seen the videos (it's more fun that way).  The good thing is you will be able to try this for yourself if you have a suitable Nokia handset as there's an app on the way and codes to print out (actually, since typing this, the app is out - I'll post the link in my next post).

If you really want to see the video, here you go...

And there's more of them over at their YouTube channel: HERE
