Augmented Reality: Maptor concept

*A lot like the Layar or Wikitude apps, but turned inside out. Note that projected-video flashlight has inbuilt GPS.

*I like projected-video augments and think they are underrated, but I wish designers
would stop imagining that customers really really want to carry imaginary geek-junk around their necks on lanyards. We all know that 99.995% of designers would rather be killed than wear a dorky lanyard, so why inflict that on the rest of us?

*It's from Seoul, which would appear to be a hotbed of augmentation research. I haven't found that many Korean augmentation devices or services, but maybe I'm too un-hip to winkle them out. Seoul is about to become World Design Capital, so the design press oughta be working harder. Good job, Yanko.
