63. Evolution of the NUI Microsoft “Kinect” Both Sony and Microsoft will be launching motion based gaming systems this year, entering a marketplace that is currently dominated by the NinendoWii. People’s awareness and comfort level with this type of interface will subsequently skyrocket as we can expect robust advertising dollars to be put behind all of the gaming systems. Sony “Move”

71. The Problem Shopping offline is a social and emotionally rewarding experience for Madison. Online is a different story. Her experience is utilitarian. It’s solitary, and has remained largely unchanged since the mid 90s. THE RESULT: -- Conversion Rates Are Low -- Return Rates Are High

110. Proprietary Technology #1 ZugMO (Zugara Motion Capture) ZugMO is a computer interface that allows people to interact with their computer via their web cam rather than their keyboard or mouse. With ZugMO a person’s movements, or motions, are captured by their web cam. This allows the person to interact with their system while several feet away.
111. Proprietary Technology #2 ZugSTAR (Zugara STreaming AR) ZugSTAR is a web based video conferencing technology that allows people in different locations to have shared AR experiences. Like other video conferencing systems ZugSTAR allows for two-way video transmissions, but with the added functionality of allowing people to interact with one another's “augmented” experience in real time. DID YOU KNOW? Gartner IT predicts that by 2015 over 200 million people will be paying for video conferencing. With ZugSTAR, Augmented Reality becomes a technology that facilitates collaboration. People no longer need to be in the same room to manipulate and discuss 3D models, as physical distance becomes less of a barrier.
112. Proprietary Technology #3 ZugMUG (Zugara Facial Tracking) ZugMUG is a piece of facial tracking software that allows the webcam to determine where a person’s face is within the video stream. With ZugMUG a person’s face can become the “marker”, subsequently allowing for Augmented Reality executions where people no longer need to hold a piece of paper up to the webcam.
114. Augmented Reality Revenue Handheld platforms will transform the Augmented Reality ecosystem, with revenue associated with Augmented Reality growing from about $6 million in 2008 to more than $350 million in 2014. (ABI Research study “Augmented Reality: Adding Information to Our View of the World”)
115. Worldwide Webcam Growth Rate Markets for webcams at $1.8 billion in 2008 are anticipated to reach $3.2 billion by 2015, growing in response to decreases in unit costs and increases. (Wintergreen Research - Worldwide WebCam Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, 2009-2015)
116. Webcam Video Uploads on Facebook As of last March 2009, 40% of Facebook Video Uploads were via Webcam (Businessweek – Facebook Grows As A Video Platform)

Talking the fundamental, physical process of validating a purchase. Look at a thumbnail add to cart, purchase. Not talking about groupon, gilt or the like.
