Augmented Reality Lounge
- November 17, 2009 · 7:00 PM
Augmented Reality is an emerging technology and the Semantic Web is an ideal candidate to become the fabric for Augmented Reality applications. The global availability of the web and the flexibility of RDF, make it a perfect match for distributed, heterogeneous and networked applications that can help to enable emergent Augmented Reality services.
In this informal session we will introduce some of the key concepts and discuss how the Augmented Reality conversation can immediately benefit from Semantic Web technologies and concepts. The key Semantic Web technologies are now in place and can finally start to deliver real benefits. After all the goal is to realize and bring the web to it's full potential.

- Robert Rice: CEO of Neogence, Chairman of the Augmented Reality Consortium

Seems like this is a good example of the potential intersection of AR and semantic web: http://www.readwriteweb.com/arc...

Someone introduced themselves and explained that they were working on (I believe) a language algorithm that would "take language to the next step" (kind of a Semantic-web turbo-d Esperanto) based on Asian language principles of logogram-based "alphabets." He was sitting on the right side of the audience (for those of us in the audience). I would really like to get in touch with this person, if anyone remembers his name. Thanks.

Fascinating topic. Panel was great. Wish we had more time to discuss the direct relationship between AR and the semantic web.
