IBM's Seer augmented reality application for the Australian Open grand slam tennis tournament isn't perfect, but it does have a lot going for it.The technology has largely come about due to the availability of handheld devices that include a camera, GPS, digital compass, and wireless Internet access. (The latter's needed to obtain 'live' information.)
Current model iPhones and various other smartphones fit the bill nicely.
Last week, I reported on IBM's Seer application for the Australian Open tennis tournament currently underway at Melbourne Park.
The view from the Android phone's camera is overlaid with static labels (court name or number), live data such as scores for games in progress, and more.
Originally developed in the UK for the 2009 Wimbledon tournament, the range of data displayed was expanded for the Australian Open.
Please read on for a hands-on look at Seer.
