When you point the phone’s camera toward a particular location, it displays “points of interest” in that location, such as restaurants, stores, and museums.

Think of a simple augmented reality app on your iPhone such as Yelp Monocle.

But this is just the beginning. What if, instead of restaurant and store information, we could access historical, artistic, demographic, environmental, architectural, and other kinds of information embedded in the real world?

Future: As you walk around with your cell phone, you can point to a site and see what it looked like a century ago, who lived there, what the environment was like.

Deepening recession and the falling demand of woodworking industry´s traditional products have forced also sawmilling industry to find new and more fertile solutions to improve their operational preconditions.

In recent years, the role of bioenergy production has often been highlighted as a part of sawmills´ business repertoire.

Sawmilling produces naturally a lot of by-products (e.g. bark, sawdust, chips) which could be exploited more effectively in energy production, and this would bring more incomes or maybe even create new business opportunities for sawmills.

Production of bioenergy is also supported by government´s climate and energy policies favouring renewable energy sources, public financial subsidies, and soaring prices of fossil fuels.

Also the decreasing production of domestic pulp and paper industry releases a fair amount of sawmills´ by-products for other uses.

Professionals of wood and bioenergy industries meet again at the Wood and Bioenergy 2013 exhibition. Organized since 1989 the event has established itself as a leading event of the industry.
