Hi,
I thought you might find one of our projects interesting.
We've recently released a Kickstarter project around our "Augmenting the
Web" R&D (shameless plug - please back us here http://kck.st/1gnUJex).
As part of that we've been working on all the key APIs and exploring
what we need to do to help convince users that the Augmented Web
Platform really is as good as, if not better than native apps.
One of the things we've found is that a lot of users still don't realise
that browsers can track their location and even fewer can visualise how
that works or how accurate it is. So we've created this demo that helps
them do exactly that.

We've found the easiest way to get people's attention is by starting
with the privacy discussion, but once they start exploring this it opens
up their mind to how this can really be useful too. People we've
explored this with seem very aware that mobile apps can track them and
also that the web can easily show local information. But many don't seem
to make the connection with web based tracking and more accurate data
like that required for AR.
We'd really like to get your thoughts and feedback.
