Wizup – Augmented Reality App For Windows Phone 7 – HOT!
Augmented reality is all over the place but on Windows Phone 7 there have been some questions about how it would translate. Well, here’s a preview of Wizup which is in the Developpeurs competition. This is a lot like the app Scan Search we talked about previously. Take a snippet of life and the app spits out a lot of information about what you see. You can just skim through this video to see the sorts of fancy stuff it can do but WOW. This is definitely worth taking a look at. It’s finding music, movies, YouTube, magazines…just sick stuff
If you like it, vote for it here on FaceBook by ‘liking’ it.

This is HOT! I’m absolutely getting this app.
So … another way for marketers to intrude into my life and time? Maybe if it shortens ‘traditional’ advertising, allowing the CONSUMER to choose when to get the information they want that is relevant to them, instead of being bombarded with shouts for products they (individually) have absolutely no interest in.
The tech is neat and shiny, but I’m afraid the practical uses will be a p.i.t.a.
Interesting concept and cool technology. Don’t know that I would call this augmented reality though. More like contextual search.
