Doing my regular rounds of new AR demos and articles, I came across a fun little demo posted on もじもじTV [mojimojiTV], called Shabette Otenki Kensaku [しゃべってお天気検索]. It combines speech recognition (SR), augmented reality (AR), and the TenkiAPI (an API for weather information). Users can hold the marker before the camera, wait for the count-down, and then say a city-name. The application then uses the TenkiAPI to call current weather for the city-name used, and outputs the information using AR.

By no means meant to be an application used everyday, it’s an interesting little concept piece and definitely has me thinking about other ways we can start combing SR an AR together.
