I have not had any hands-on with the prototype. But I will likely chip in a few bucks to help them get the final version shipped. Gotta love Kickstarter!

In reply to Todd Sampson. Well this looks cool. I'll check it out and perhaps write up a post. Have you played with it at all?

I hadn't seen the video — really cool. Thanks!

Seems like augmented reality really is coming into its own. So much potential to do interesting things. I stumbled across a new augmented reality iPhone editor project called MixAR tonight on Kickstarter:

I expect this to become more and more common. In fact, have you seen this post provided by Danial http://www.youtube.com/user/Augmediamarketing ( http://www.youtube.com/user/Augmediamarketing )—

I got to play with the 3-D consoles at a store near San Francisco — really cool stuff. Very much agreed on the signage.

It seems to work very much like the at-home "augmented reality" 3-D controllers that came with Avatar toys starting late last year. If you haven't seen the video, it is worth checking out:
