Build Your Own Life HUD With a Smartphone and Some Cardboard [How To]
Gizmodo — A cardboard box, sliced to pieces, taped together, fastened to a pair of work goggles, and capped off with an HTC Magic: this is what DIY augmented reality looks like, right now. Which isn't to say I won't totally do this when I have a few spare minutes, because when you get to thinking about it, this is pretty great: our host in the video doesn't show off anything more than Google Street View. But imagine using this hobo helmet with camera-based apps like Wikitude or Layar, or replacing the Magic with an iPhone and loading up the new version of Yelp? Excellent. [Twitter via Slashgear] ...

Realidad virtual con un HTC Magic, un pedazo de cartón, cinta y unas gafas de buceo
Gizmología — La realidad virtual es algo que, al menos para los geeks como nosotros, es una palabra sagrada, santa y que no se puede usar en vano y si bien las tecnologías que existen en relación a ella no son demasiado prometedoras por el momento, la ciencia ficción la utiliza diariamente como recurso y, realmente, al verlo se nos cae la baba pensando que podría hacerse realidad.
