Argon augmented reality can integrate the physical world with the cyber world

The browser has been developed by Blair MacIntyre and his Augmented Environments Lab. The user can shoot videos with his iPhone and he can see the geo-tagged Flickr images, Twitter posts and other Web content. Argon browsers developer preview version is free and it can be downloaded from the Apple App Store.

Argon' mobile architecture, KHARMA uses HTML5 and KML (Web markup language) for allowing the web publishers in creating Argon applications. This is a form of augmented reality which will provide all the information which you need related to a particular location on the display screen. Blair MacIntyre, KHARMA Project Director and Associate Professor at School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech has said that “Our goal is to provide a foundation for millions of Web developers to begin writing applications so they can provide users with new experiences that are unique to the world of AR. Basically, we want to move the Web into the world.” Now the researchers at Georgia Technology are also planning to integrate the device with other Android based devices. Surely, this technology will help us a lot in understanding the aerial differentiations present across the earth's surface.
