*ARt scene is hoppin' today.
*Weird interview here, seems to be generating its own new form of tech-jargon in real-time.

F&N:Obviously your StreetARt App is indicative of some these new changes – the ability to separate off as an App in its own right and have interactions.
Yes, we’ve created an App framework around the Layar Player SDK that integrates with our buildAR platform.
The response has been great. We’ve done very little if any promotion except for twitter, a blog post and being promoted as a featured layer and in our first month we’ve attracted over 25,000 unique users from 166 countries. Our total count is now well over 200,000 unique users from over 194 countries.
We’ve engaged with street art and graf communities through twitter and the response has been really good. We’re really outsiders that just enjoy the art and really wanted an easier way to find it ourselves. The artists that have used it have given us really positive feedback and seem happy to spread the love.
F&N: What happens to the aggregated dataset of geolocated works?
This is part of our new features road map. The first phase of social sharing with multi-device permalinks has been released. We’re now working on ways for people to import/manage photo sets from Flickr and to be able to map out and share their own sub-sets of the streetARt locations to create walking tours, etc.
Plus we want to focus on specific artists works, publish interviews and bubble up more dynamic content to the make the whole platform feel more alive....
