New Augmented Reality site launched
Posted by Sam
I've been hard at work (in the off hours) on a side project with a few other folks. It's really starting to come together, but it's very early on yet. If you are interested in augmented reality then you should check out Shimmerbeam. Keep in mind it's a long ways from finished but it's already a fun way to inject yourself into augmented reality. And it's one of the more interesting things I've coded in a while. If you have any suggestions on how to make it better feel free to post them in the comments!
For the technical folks the entire site is built on Ruby on Rails, RMagick, Prawn and PostgreSQL and so far the whole thing is written in less than 1,100 lines of code! Once I get rid of the controller logic in Rails 3 it will be even less code. Check out the site... go... now!

OK, that makes my current website project look completely stupid and boring. I think I'll go home and cry.

Sam, I don't think I've ever seen you do anything that was stupid or boring so I find that hard to believe. Do you plan on releasing it soon?

It's a paid project, so that's up to the client. Gotta finish it first. It doesn't do anything as cool as Shimmerbeam though.
