Abstract: An augmented reality building construction apparatus and system is provided. The apparatus and system has a transparent display, a positioning receiver operatively coupled to the display. Additionally, the apparatus and system has an electronically coupled ground-based positioning system, a microprocessor that displays an electronic content on the transparent display and allows for alignment of the electronic content with images in the real world to produce an augmented reality.

Abstract: A system and a method for catch-up streaming of data to an end user. The system utilizes a rapid, high content transmission of streaming data which may be easily de-compressed and viewed by the end user almost instantaneously from the time of selection of that data. The high content, rapid content is sent upfront to the end user such that the lag and/or delay time from onset of data retrieval may be eliminated. The system then transmits the remaining data from the streaming data at normal transfer speeds after the large, high content rapid transmission has been completed allowing for the continuous data stream transmission and eliminating un-satisfactory reviewing of the transmitted data to the end user.

Abstract: A system and method for making business cards available for free, or at greatly reduced prices to customers is provided. The system and method for providing business cards to be made available to a customer at a greatly reduced cost, or for free is provided wherein if the customer is willing to allow their business cards to be co-branded with the information from a third party. Additionally, the third party may pay for a portion of the costs to print the cards and whereby the third party may have their information located on some portion of the cards that are printed for the end customer.
