Controversy aside, I can't wait for a furniture company to start using augmented reality.<p>It'd be pretty cool to download the IKEA app to my iPhone or Pre or whatever, print out a few strips of paper, and see how furniture would look in my house just by looking at my phone.<p>This would be pretty cool for posters / art too - tape the paper to the wall, and see what the art would actually look like hanging there.
Demo was done in the browser with flash. Quick google didn't find much else.<p>Source Code: <a href="http://spazout.com/assets/tedflartoolkit.zip" rel="nofollow">http://spazout.com/assets/tedflartoolkit.zip</a>
