Thanks to the increasing prevalence of live blogs, video streams and the like, it's becoming increasingly feasible to cover a conference without even attending it, thanks to the remaining poor sods who still muster the enthusiasm to travel there. You'll note, for example, that I generated a lot of content in spite of not shuttling myself to "Sin City" for January's Consumer Electronics Show (although the "poor sods" in this case were my boss and co-worker!).
Last week, I (alas) wasn't in Barcelona for Mobile World Congress, either. However, courtesy of folks such as EE Times' Rick Merritt and Sylvie Barak, I still got the scoop on the big news coming from the show. Sylvie, for example, earlier today published a short-but-sweet writeup on the latest developments in augmented reality, a topic that regular readers already know captures my ongoing attention. And make sure you also spend a few minutes auditioning the companion video above, which showcases representatives from AR pioneers such as Imagination Technologies, Qualcomm, and Texas Instruments.
