Qwiki creates an automated audio-visual over-view of any subject in Wikipedia. Bearing in mind this is only in alpha, I think this can only get better - it would be great on a company intranet too.

Apparently, we'll eventually be able to create Qwiki reports on ourselves, drawing on o social media profiles such as Facebook and LinkedIn. But by then I do hope they come up with a better name than 'qwiki' - think about it.

When you think about it, this is a natural extension of search and augment reality techniques. Goggles is more than just landmarks and places - it can be used to find information about books, contact information, artwork, wine and logos from the images you scan.

Obviously I'm disappointed you don't actually get to wear some kind of AR 'goggles' for this, but the contact lens HUD is still under development.

Meanwhile, those of us with iPhones will need to wait a little longer until we get to play with the Goggles too.
