Hi,

we've just released another great example of the Augmented Web running 
in a standard web browser. This time we've shown how you can easily use 
awe.js to turn the Oculus Rift into a video-see-thru Augmented Reality 
display...no hardware hacking required. All in a standard web browser.

We're also happy to announce that the awesome Chrome team have updated 
the latest version of Chrome on Android with a truly standards compliant 
implementation of the DeviceOrientation API. So our Geo AR demo now 
works perfectly on version M33 and above (currently Chrome Beta on the 
Play Store).
