The day finally arrived. As we announced several times, finally unveiled the new operating system of ex-RIM in an event that took place on Wednesday 30 January. The main event took place at Pier 36 on the island of Manhattan in New York, but there were also simultaneous events elsewhere in the world such as Toronto, London, Paris, Dubai, among others.

Wondering why ex-RIM? Because from now on, the company has outgrown its name and becomes officially known as BlackBerry. With a name change and a great platform under their arms, BlackBerry attempt to make his triumphant return to the mobile phone market.

BlackBerry 10 is a fresh platform, a complete reprint of the old and improved BlackBerry OS complemented with some innovative features and promising. Besides the announcement of the operating system, also announced the first phones to run it, that will be the BlackBerry BlackBerry Z10 and Q10. The first is fully touch, while the second is a hybrid between a BlackBerry smartphone and traditional touch. The Z10 will go on sale from early February in different parts of the world, while Q10 is expected to do a few weeks later.

With the Ultimate ROM application called Dinosaurs, the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, uses augmented reality, virtual vision of the real world which can be extended with graphics or other content.
When visitors point their smartphones to indicators throughout the museum, dinosaurs come to life on the application. IPads displayed in the museum and aimed to show the skeletons of creatures with more realism, with meat.
"We can see how they would look with skin when they were alive and how they have moved and behaved," said Tracy Ruddell, vice president of marketing assistant museum, where technology is on display as part of the show "Last Dinosaur".
"As a museum all that matters are real-world objects," said Ruddell. "But being able to give life to prehistoric dinosaurs was something really amazing."
Worldwide, museums and art galleries have increasingly incorporated their technology exposures, which can be accessed through mobile applications.
"Augmented reality allows us to do things with goals that would never see in the physical world because, of course, we have to preserve specimens," said Ruddell. "It also enables us to provide educational information, and stories about these objects that are traditionally difficult to do."
After years of being relegated to the realm of science fiction, augmented reality is finally entering mainstream. ABI Research expects the industry to reach the 3,000 dollars in profits in 2016, from 29 million in 2010.
