This post is a position paper for the upcoming Mobile Augmented Reality Summit. Pheromone, as company developing Web services and applications, and online social networks in particular, will be joining this summit to observe the upcoming technological trends in Augmented Reality, and lay out its vision of MAR beyond the usual scenarios of the glorified tour guide and the dystopian overflow of information without any concern for privacy: a vision of MAR as a very personal tool for egocasting, serendipity and discovery.

Using Web Technologies for “native” mobile applications
Simon St.Laurent believes that the iPad is a great opportunity for Web developers. It seems somewhat counter-intuitive. Shouldn’t Web developers be cheering for platforms such as Palm’s WebOS or Symbian, both holding great promises for Web technologies and basing their applications on HTML, CSS and Javascript?

The group of User Experience professionals rounded up a great panel to talk about the perception of UX from the technology, investment, managerial and creative standpoints.
