<h2 class="entry-header">Augmented Reality: A Point of Interest for the Web</h2>
<div class="entry-body">
<p>Last month's <a href="http://www.w3.org/2010/06/w3car/">Augmented Reality on the Web</a> workshop in Barcelona has sparked a good deal of debate within and around W3C. As the <a href="http://www.w3.org/2010/06/w3car/report.html">final report</a> shows, the workshop brought together many different companies and organizations working on or with a direct interest in the field of Augmented Reality — but how can W3C help in this area?</p>
<p>One outcome is clear: we need a method for representing data about points of interest and proposals are advancing to achieve this in a new POI Working Group. Quite what data needs to be represented concerning Points of Interest depends on who you ask. For some it's a question of annotating a given point on the Earth's surface where the longitude, latitude and altitude are all key identifiers. For others it's more a question of the point at a given distance and angle from an object that may or may not be static as seen by an observer who may themselves also be moving.</p>
<p>Different communities are involved here: as well as the augmented reality community, the linked data community has a keen interest. There are other facets to the discussion too and this is what will make the POI working group's work interesting!</p>
<p>The workshop also recommended that a new POI WG should go further and consider the wider picture of how AR does, or might, relate to the Web. Privacy is a major concern; device APIs are critical enablers; do CSS and SVG have sufficient power to support AR functions? Even the use of HTTP as a transport mechanism is questioned by some given the real time nature of AR.</p>
<p>To join the debate about all this, please <a href="mailto:public-poiwg-request@w3.org?subject=subscribe">subscribe</a> to the <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-poiwg/">Point of Interest mailing list</a> and keep an eye out for calls for review of the charter in the near future.</p>
