Virtualreality. Immersion. Augmented Reality. Augmented reality experiments. I’m really not a fan of the goggle/glasses/helmet variety of AR, where the user wears something in front of their eyes that superimposes 3D objects into the physical world. In my experience this has been slow, inaccurate, cumbersome, headache inducing, the worst of VR plus a lot more problems. But AR is really interesting when it’s just a screen and a video feed, it becomes somehow magical: to see the same space represented twice: once in front of you, and once on screen with magical objects. I can imagine this working really well on mobile phones: the phone screen as magic lens to secret things. On that afternoon we didn’t have a printer handy for making the AR marks, so we took to drafting them by hand, stencilling them off the screen with a pencil and inking them in.

This hand-crafted process led to all sorts of interesting connections between the possibilities of craft and digital information. Top 5 Coolest Augmented Reality Projects. Our editors have compiled a list of the "Top 5 Coolest Augmented Reality Projects" for your enjoyment. Which ones are your favorites? 5. Mobile AR Finally, augmented reality has hit Nokia cell phones. In these applications, players use their camera phone to interact with on screen objects. [Source] 4. Created by engineering students at the University of Cambridge, this "overall system centers around a table top environment where users work with maps" -- "a camera mounted above the table tracks the maps' locations on the surface and registers interaction devices placed on them".

One or more maps are spread out on a table or any other planar surface. 3. KOMMERZ has developed an MRI (Mixed Reality Interface) system that can be used in a variety of applications - including presentations, games, architecture and landscape planning . 2. Total Immersion's D’Fusion technology allows "for real-time video capture and perfect merges between video streams and 3D objects. " 1. [Source] VRMAG. Total Immersion.
