Technology Review ran an article this past week about a new app called PlaceAvoider that is being developed by computer scientists working at Indiana University. In a nutshell, PlaceAvoider allows the user of a first-person lifelogging device to essentially blacklist locations from visual storage and sharing by matching the visual signature of a location against images of locations the user has designated as off-limits, such as a bedroom, bathroom or boardroom.

Sometimes, thinking out of the box is required, and in an effort to attract even more folks to take the bus in Aberdeen, Scotland, augmented reality technology has been implemented at the backs of the bus seats so that passengers will be able to view interactive videos whenever they scan the trigger using their mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.
