( ) f. Don't know much about AR. However, interestingly I got the following two links in my Twitter feed a few days back http://asiajin.com/blog/2008/07/19/cyber-maid-augmented-reality/ https://www.prioritymail.com/simulator.asp Will learn more about this when I am a bit less "fr*&#n busy" as it does look like fun. :-) > whatever.
