Thanks to the rise of smartphone technologies, the virtual territories of cyberspace are increasingly free to roam around in the real world.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

LondonCalling.com is hosting a panel discussion on the current and future trends of augmented reality on Tuesday 27 March, 6.30pm – 9pm, at The Vibe Gallery, Bermondsey. (That’s five minutes from Bermondsey tube station on the Jubilee Line.)<\/p>\n

Tamara Roukaerts, head of marketing at the AR company Aurasma and Frank Da Silva, creative director for Earth 2 Hub (a sort of thinktanky thing, with video) are going to be singing the technology’s praises, I assume, while I crouch in the corner painting my face with ashes and portending doom. Because I am a writer, and that is my job. (Think Emile Zola; think railways.)<\/p>\n

Tom Hunter’s in the chair. (Or is he…?)<\/em> More details at http:\/\/bit.ly\/x2xflN<\/a><\/p>\n

Come and heckle if you’re in London. It’s free, and it’s about the closest you’ll ever get to being in an episode of Nathan Barley.<\/p>\n
