The USPS gets into the AR scene
From mobile phone developers to marketers, everybody seems to be getting into augmented reality lately. The latest from the United Postal Service(yeah, the guys who deliver your mail) and interactive agency AKQA comes a clever utility to help you determine what sized shipping box to use. Print out the glyph, point your web cam at it and you'll see a virtual shipping box. You can change the transparency of the box and place objects you plan to ship inside the virtual box to see if it will fit. Pretty slick.
