A Wickedly Cool Conference Application
We've been working on an application for a few months now that a lot of you have asked for when attending Microsoft Technical Conferences. The most common request is the ability to have a conference guide on your Windows Mobile device that saves you time and hassle of having to carry around a cumbersome printed conference guide and flipping through it to look for sessions and room locations.
So working with Daniel Wagner & Dr. Dieter Schmalstieg, researchers from the Graz Institute of Technology in Vienna, we've created Signpost 2007.
Signpost 2007 is a location aware conference guide that let's the user browse conference sessions and help them locate where they are and navigate them to the desired location. Signpost 2007 is built using Augmented Reality and sophisticated marker detection technologies and will run on a wide variety of Mobile Devices such as :
- Tornado Noble
