Augmented Reality and HTML5 - The Future of Mobile App Development

About this month's meetup:

While HTML5 continues to evolve within web browsers, other platforms are adopting the standard as a foundation of their application frameworks. In this session, Patrick Brandt will demonstrate the Argon (http://www.argon.gatech.edu/) augmented reality browser. Mobile AR is predicted to be a $732 million market by 2014 (http://www.marketingcharts.com/interactive/mobile-augmented-reality-poised-for-rapid-growth-12150/) and it promises to provide new opportunities for HTML5 developers.

Argon is currently being developed by a team of researchers at Georgia Tech and is available as a beta release in the iTunes App Store. We'll be looking at a demonstration application which is built in Argon on the iPad.
