Augmented City Lab: THINK!

PICNIC '09 Lab

Waag Society, 7scenes and Layar will host a one-day Augmented City Lab at PICNIC. The Lab focuses on near-future scenarios for mobile location-aware services. Services that will strongly impact the way we experience the city and create new possibilities for fields such as tourism, cultural heritage, transport and entertainment. In a public “show & tell” session current state-of-the-art practices are showcased and a panel of local and international experts will discuss the opportunities for the Augmented City.

This THINK! segment of the Augmented City Lab is open to all PICNIC attendees.
