metaio® free AR SDK
Hey Apps developers, here is an interesting tool -- maybe something Mindstorms related could be developed?!
I met this guy from metaio® at the Intel booth at LEGO WORLD 2012 in Copenhagen
Today I received this email about their FREE SDK now available!!

This is the exact thing that I have pushed to be used with MINDSTORMS products in the stores. Sadly, every LEGO store I have visited lacked one lick of MINDSTORMS knowledge. I'm ususally directed to the TECHNIC sets.
The LEGO Digital Box kiosks could help. Additionally, many many more units would fly off the shelves if a short video loop was available in the store showing visitors what people are doing with MINDSTORMS. Every kid that watched the video would want the kit and they wouldn't have to convince their viewing parents.
Augmented Reality is useful stuff with interesting uses. Imagine the 2.0 Gator snapping at the kid's hands that held the set at the kiosk.
Hopefully coming soon.
