One of the best early manifestations of this idea comes from the Dutch developers of an app called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.layar.com\/\" title=\"Layar\">Layar<\/a>. In one of their earliest concepts,  a smartphone&#8217;s camera, GPS, WiFi and compass were used to identify buildings in Amsterdam. Once identified, users could obtain actionable data about the building, including rental and contact information. That&#8217;s just the beginning.<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HW9gU_4AUCA\" title=\"layar video\">video<\/a> that illustrates some of the possibilities.<br \/>\nLayar is not alone in imagining AR. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There is an iPhone app that uses an iPhone&#8217;s positioning system to play an <a href=\"http:\/\/tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com\/2011\/10\/24\/for-iphones-a-central-park-soundtrack\/\" title=\"Central Park: Listen to the Light\">ever-changing soundtrack<\/a> for visitors to Central Park.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/london-unfurled-for-ipad\/id469077366?mt=8\" title=\"London Unfurled\">London Unfurled<\/a> uses geo-positioning to provide a guided landmark tour along the River Thames. <\/li>\n<li>Peter Meyers, meanwhile, blogs about an &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/newkindofbook.com\/2011\/10\/the-infinite-canvas-really-big-ebooks-what-we-might-put-in-\u2019em\/\" title=\"Infinite Canvas for eBooks\">infinite canvas<\/a>&#8221; that opens numerous possibilities outside the boundaries of the eBook (frankly, some of the ideas remind me of envisioning projects that should stay in the lab. Maybe I spent too many years in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.officelabs.com\/Pages\/Default.aspx\" title=\"Microsoft Office Labs\">Microsoft Office Labs<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So what does all of this have to do with &#8220;Butcher, Baker?&#8221; A book like &#8220;Butcher, Baker&#8221; is a perfect candidate for AR. It is set within an <a href=\"http:\/\/butcherbaker.net\/ebook.html\" title=\"Butcher, Baker map\">identifiable physical reality<\/a>: Anchorage and the Alaskan Bush. A &#8220;Butcher, Baker&#8221; app would guide users through that physical reality to, for example, the Knik River, the Kenai Peninsula and the former site of Hansen&#8217;s Bakery in Anchorage. Yes, it would be a very different journey, not for the faint of heart.<br \/>\nWill it really happen? Who knows. Today I am channeling <a href=\"http:\/\/newkindofbook.com\/about\/\" title=\"About Peter Meyers\">Mr. Meyers<\/a>, imagining the possibilities&#8230;<br \/>\n<em>Copyright, Leland E.
