A recent statistic from ComScore shows that over 14.2 million smartphone users in major European countries (Germany, Italy, France, Spain and the UK combined) scanned a QR Code or barcode in the first quarter of 2012. This is a reach of 14.5 percent of the smartphone audience. The chart below shows that slightly more than half had scanned a code from a newspaper or magazine. Only 12.5% had scanned a code from a business card or brochure. Via QRboy, Christel Le Coq

AR can be used to bring still pictures to life, point the camera on a mobile device at a still image and it will trigger a video. By following a few steps described here (with examples) you can create your own learning materials.
Alternatively AR can be triggered by location. Point your device at a pre-detemined location to retrieve a video or information you have prepared for learning.

"A paralyzed woman completing the London Marathon using a bionic exoskeleton suit. A quadriplegic woman using a brain-computer interface to move objects in 3D space. Men and women opting to amputate entire limbs in order to replace them with a new generation of “beautiful” prosthetics. Welcome to the brave new world of Machine Beauty, where our new willingness to replace our limbs with superior prosthetic devices hints at our technological future as a species. Maybe futurist Ray Kurzweil was right after all when he predicted the merging of man and machine within our lifetime as part of the great Singularity.
"Versions of these human enhancements have been around a decade or more, thanks to mind-blowing advances in fields such as robotics. What’s changed now is how we – as a society – view these enhancements. Are we somehow becoming "more than human"? If, in the past, we made every effort to salvage our human limbs, we now are making a different type of cost-benefit analysis: whether we might be better off with beautiful, life-like prosthetics. The New York Times profiled an extraordinary number of men and women making the unthinkable choice – they are choosing to amputate entire limbs in order to have access to the next generation of prosthetics from companies like iWalk. Whereas before they may have tried to salvage part of a leg, they are now opting to amputate the entire limb and replace it with a full prosthesis." Via Jim Lerman

"... instead of having to wade through the complex technical language of a proposal document or base opinions on an artist's sketch or scale model, anyone can visit a development site, whip out a handheld device and get an instant impression of how the building will look in that space when complete."

How can we explain “acquired savants” — people with extraordinary talent who’ve miraculously developed artistic, musical, or mathematical abilities as a result of a brain injury, or temporarily from a transcranial magnetic stimulation session — since they weren’t born with the talent and didn’t learn it later?...

Well, this is just fantastic. We're all for the advancement of robot technology so that one day they can cater to our every beck and call. But researchers at ETH Zurich have foolishly designed a robot that can create its own custom tools to complete tasks. Via Luca Baptista
