Bruce Sterling has launched an augmented reality product with Layar coder Menno Bieringa, German media artist Aram Bartholl and Layar artist-in-residence Sander Veenhof: “With Sterling’s ‘Dead Drops Layer,’ users can scan the horizon for handy Dead Drops that might be lurking nearby. A few taps and clicks create a map that will lead to the site. Network users can then plug their laptops directly into the ‘Dead Drops,’ which are commonly embedded in brick walls and almost invisible.”
