Augmented Reality Wizards Blippar Will Unveil New Tech At TechCrunch Disrupt London

What if you could learn about anything just by taking a photo of it?  Blippar already has 3 million people doing that every month plus another 62 million signed up. Now Blippar is ready to unveil the next phase of its technology and business, and it’s going to do it onstage at TechCrunch Disrupt London. Blippar CEO   Ambarish Mitra   is basically tech’s version of Slumdog Millionaire. After running away from home and living in the slums of Delhi, India, Mitra sold magazines door-to-door. But then he won $10,000 in an e-business plan competition and used the money to form an Internet portal for women that was free to those with low incomes.

Mitra started Blippar when augmented reality was just in its infancy. And while devices like the Microsoft HoloLens promise a future where we see digital graphics overlay information atop ou...

Uber self-driving car hits road in Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH — In this city, the age of the self-driving car has arrived. Uber’s partially self-driving car will begin accepting passengers here Wednesday, a critical test for the ride-hailing service as it seeks to develop a fleet of  autonomous vehicles that could someday ferry passengers around crowded cities.                                                                                                         The company on Tuesday gave journalists test drives in about two dozen Ford Fusion sedans that engineers bought off dealership lots and retrofitted with light-mapping systems, radar, sensors and cameras. For now, a Uber employee stays behind the steering wheel to intercede if the car's self-drivin...
