Augmented fun with my Nokia

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...)

I'll give you my 6220 when you take it from my cold, dead hands!

This phone, yeah this one!

Maybe that's a bit extreme, I'll let the guy from DHL pick it up. I'll stand tall, all the while trying to keep the tears and sadness inside (I can't let the 'Classic' see me cry, I have to be strong!)

Yep, you guessed it - WOM World want "my" Nokia 6220 Classic back. I always knew this day would come. I just couldn't have guessed how attached we'd become.

Expect the mother-of-all round-ups fairly soon. But, as you've probably guessed, I give this phone a thumbs up. There's more to it than that and it's not a phone for everyone but that's the general gist of it.
