In reply to John Leahy.

Hello John,
MY thoughts on this post were more a reaction to the Gigaom post. I applaud all who use the technology in innovative ways, but being a developer of AR applications and knowing what is possible to do with it, I find that I am a tad more critical than most. I took a few minutes to get the app and try the experience. I do like the fact that your HUD controls move, but found that the controls were not the most responsive. I stand by what was stated in the post, "I can see how this could be helpful for women trying on bathing suits."

To confirm, I asked some ladies around me what they thought of the app. All were amazed by the tech and found it fun. Given this is your target audience, I say well done.

Hey Christopher, appreciated your point of view. Are you trashing the Gigaom blog post or how well AR development is progressing? We are closer. Take a minute and do the D'fusion player update before you throw the baby out with the bath water. The hand gesture tools in our Tryonbathingsuit application do move the technology forward. JC Penny shopper and fashionista are 2 D. Our fitting room is has 3 d models.

So basically we are not closer to useful AR for merchants then we were 5 years ago. What is it going to take to change that? I guess, what is the killer app?
