Man to marry his video game girlfriend this Sunday
Last month, I wrote about a Japanese husband who confessed to his wife that he had a virtual girlfriend, a character from an addictive Nintendo DS game called Love Plus. Now, another man is planning to hold a wedding ceremony with his Love Plus girlfriend this coming Sunday. The man, who calls himself SAL9000, was so in love with Nene Anegasaki that he decided to marry her and take her on a honeymoon to Guam. Of course, this means that he literally just took his Nintendo DS to Guam... while there, he took photos, livecast their adventures on popular video-sharing site Nico Nico Douga, and documented their adventures using the augmented reality iPhone app Sekai Camera . In any case, the guy plans on having a public reception in Tokyo this Sunday. It will be livecast on Nico Nico Douga, but in case you miss it, we'll be bringing you an update early next week.

The Washington Post: Fast Forward: 'Augmented reality' fuses your world and the Web - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...
The Washington Post has an article about augmented reality mobile applications that mentions the Layar application by Sunlight Labs that maps contracts from Recovery.gov: But the most extensive, creative use of an augmented-reality interface comes in an Android and iPhone program called Layar (http://layar.com), which lets you superimpose data from (as of Thursday evening) 232 different sources. These layers include the usual restaurant, bar and movie databases, but also more intriguing material. For example, you can look up Flickr photos taken around you, find nearby flu-shot locations, or see Twitter updates that have been tagged with geographic coordinates. Last month, the Sunlight Foundation, a government-transparency group, released a layer that maps out contracts granted under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. - Sunlight Foundation
