For all the buzz around mobile augmented reality applications, they’re still mainly playthings for geeks. However, AR firm Metaio has launched a new feature that’s relevant to the music industry. It’s partnered with Kooaba to launch a new feature for Metaio’s Android AR browser that lets users point their smartphone at CD covers, and get related information including gig listings and eBay merchandise. There are plans to develop the app to let people also buy related items, like gig tickets, with Metaio taking a cut. Source: VentureBeat
