AutoWallpaper 5.5 RC4
October 30, 2010AutoWallpaper 5.5 RC4 is now available for download.

AutoWallpaper 5.5 RC3b Windows
October 11, 2010After what I thought was a final RC for AutoWallpaper, I found that one of the test computers I use was still having issues with mis-aligned monitors.

New Look ARSoftware
Welcome to the new look AlternativeRealities website. You’ll notice that the logo has also changed. It is a logo that was created quite a while ago for use with ARGames, I felt that it signified AlternativeRealities better than the red diamond logo and so I’ve adopted it for all applications and games. The first application… [Read More]
