However, from some personal experience and reading of various reviews I am not fully confident [...]]]></description>

Rahul Mahtani &#038; Yofred Moik from the Industrial Design program at Syracuse University had an idea called Google Maps Envelope Beta.  The concept was to have the option inside Gmail to send a printed envelope via snail mail. The envelope would show a call-out for the locations of the to and from addresses. The rest of the envelope is covered in a map between those destinations with the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heads Up AR Concept</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Interesting heads up AR concept. Experience your computer screen when you get up in the morning. Concept shows calibrating by looking at certain points with your eyes. A long ways off and something like Minority Report (the part no one wants to come true) but a good look at an AR UI Design.

No your granny wasn&#8217;t let loose at night, this is the work of Denver&#8217;s own Ladies Fancywork Society.
