Awesome augmented reaility in Flash demo from a gentleman from Japan called Saqoosha (includes  source code too which is always appreciated).

There are so many potential applications for this; think – “Help me Obi Wan Kanobi, you’re my only hope”

I was interviewed on Friday for BBC 1 Extra’s ‘Take Control’ program. The premise of the show is that some celebrities completed psychometric testing to see what their careers might have been in other circumstances and as Trevor Nelson showed a potential aptitude for computer programming; he came into glue to have a look at what we do and how I work.

I also feel I should mention that I have no intention of ever ‘sacking it all in and become a lawyer’ but it’s amazing what you come out with when somebody points a camera in your face. It would be amazing if it did in any way help to make anyone study Science or Maths though which is a pretty noble cause in my book, especially as I have just finished Cheney & Uth’s Nikola Tesla’s biography “Master of Lightning” and am convinced he is the coolest person that has ever lived. P.S They edited out the bit where I talked about my life-long love of Speed Garage – sorry Laxmi
