The Georgia Institute of Technology has announced the release of the developer preview of Kamra, the first mobile augmented reality (AR) browser for the KHARMA (KML/HTML Augmented Reality Mobile Architecture). The release of Kamra for the iPhone in the iTunes Store is expected before the end of June. So what the heck is Kamra anyway? Well it’s the first mobile open standards browser that overlays information from multiple website channels simultaneously onto the user’s phone. . . .The Kamra development team is led by Blair MacIntyre, associate professor in the School of Interactive Computing and faculty member at the GVU Center at Georgia Tech. Alex Hill, postdoctoral fellow within the Augmented Environments Lab in the School of Interactive Computing, will also be present at the demonstrations. The Kamra project is sponsored by Alcatel-Lucent as part of their University Innovations Program.
