Jun 18, 2009 GBTV #581 (HD) | Layar Augmented Reality Browser, Samsung Telepresence System, Olympus PEN E-P1, Native Multitouch on Linux Kernel.

We've been talking about Augmented Reality for a couple years on GeekBrief.TV. It's exciting to see future tech begin to become reality. SPRXmobile has an A.R. browser called Layar. The excitement will reach the Dutch market first, and spread out from there.

The Samsung VC2400 is Telepresence even small companies can afford. It has a 24-inch LCD display and a 5-megapixel camera with a noise-canceling mic.

Everyone's talking about the Olympus PEN E-P1. It's a classic-looking Micro Four Thirds camera that will produce video and images with "depth of field and Art Filter effects familiar from still photography". Stills are 12.3-megapixels and HD video is captured at 1280X720.
