Business cards are perfectly suited for the application of augmented reality technology; the results are practical as they are fun. Last week, the net went abuzz with the following video by James Alliban from London. His card features basic relevant professional info spoken by an abstracted, pixelated version of his head. Very well done!
Today a new AR business card demo came online, this one from Jonas Jäger, a Communication Design student in Germany. Jonas’s version features a lot more interactivity; you can see his latest tweets, flip through some photos from his portfolio, and even call him directly via Ribbit. Check out more details on how its all done at his blog.
I think we are very close to a company attempting to create a standard around this, as well as an application that will allow the average businessperson to create and display a cool augmentation for their own cards. I know I would want one!
