Augmented Reality at CeBIT 2009 Fraunhofer, the German research organization that brought us the MP3 format, is presenting two augmented reality technologies in CeBit this year.First is a nifty magic mirror, presented in the video below (no horizontal, English version yet, sorry): The mirror is actually a touch screen, a camera, and an algorithm that samples the camera feed 30 times per second.
The algorithm looks for the original logo imprinted on the shirt in order to replace it with another logo (or even with a video), while changing the shirt's color at the same time. Once you understand it's marker based, the demo looks less cool. Living in an Augmented Reality. ARToolKit Home Page. ARToolKit is a software library for building Augmented Reality (AR) applications.
These are applications that involve the overlay of virtual imagery on the real world. For example, in the image to the right a three-dimensional virtual character appears standing on a real card. It can be seen by the user in the head set display they are wearing.
