TEDx Transmedia 2012 Touchcode Der Mobile World Congress ist seit Freitag beendet. Bevor auch die letzten Ausläufer der Mobilfunkmesse im allgemeinen CeBIT-Rauschen untergegangen sind, ist es geradezu meine Pflicht, euch noch “Touchcode” vorzustellen. Vielleicht hat der ein oder andere Freund der Springer-Presse bereits davon gehört, denn die von dem Chemnitzer Start-Up Printechnologics entwickelte Schnittstelle zwischen Digital- und Papierwelt kommt dort schon vereinzelt zur Anwendung. Mir war das Konzept aber zuvor völlig unbekannt. Anzeige Worum geht es? Anwendungen sind noch rar “Passend” meint in diesem Zusammenhang aber lediglich, dass die App in der Lage sein muss, den Datencode auszulesen. Doch wo liegen nun konkret die Vorteile gegenüber herkömmlichen QR-Codes? Reale Anwendungen sind allerdings noch rar. Herstellern von Spiele-Apps bietet die Technik zudem völlig neue Einnahmemöglichkeiten. Großer Anklang in Marketing- und Werbebranche (Christian Wolf)
Augmented Reality Home Pages - Introduction Note: Most of this material has been taken from the beginning sections of my thesis proposal. My PhD thesis work was completed in April 1998 with the defense of my thesis, "Interactive Augmented Reality". 1. Augmented Reality (AR) is a growing area in virtual reality research. Figure 1 - Simulated augmented reality medical image 1.1 Augmented Reality vs. Virtual reality is a technology that encompasses a broad spectrum of ideas. The discussion above highlights the similarities and differences between virtual reality and augmented reality systems. The computer generated virtual objects must be accurately registered with the real world in all dimensions. Milgram (Milgram and Kishino 1994; Milgram, Takemura et al. 1994) describes a taxonomy that identifies how augmented reality and virtual reality work are related. Figure 2 - Milgram's Reality-Virtuality Continuum Milgram further defines a taxonomy for the Mixed Reality displays. 1.2 Augmented Reality Application Domains 1.2.1 Medical

How 3DO Creates Video Games" Once the storyboards and overall game level designs are complete, the game enters the production phase. The preproduction team expands as needed to include additional artists, programmers and designers. 3DO's artists began developing the 3D models that will make up the worlds of Portal Runner using a software application called 3D Studio Max. Meanwhile, the programmers wrote custom code in C programming language that provided the framework for the game objects. Some of the code for a game involves the 3D engine, an application that generates all the polygons, shadows and textures that you see. All the bits and pieces -- objects, textures and code -- are fed into a special utility called a tool chain that combines the pieces into one big piece of code.
How Invisibility Cloaks Work" Admit it. You'd love to own an invisibility cloak. Utter an embarrassing faux pas at a party? Just throw on your magical garment and vanish from the snooty gaze of your fellow partygoers. Such fantastic fashion accessories have become ridiculously standard in the world of science fiction and fantasy. Well, Muggles, science has some good news for you: Invisibility cloaks are a reality. First up, we'll look at some wonderful carbon nanotube fashions -- fresh from the UTD NanoTech Institute fall 2011 collection. Or perhaps you'd prefer something made from metamaterials. If you're more into retro fashion, there's also the optical camouflage technology developed by scientists at the University of Tokyo. Ready to try some of these fashions on for size?
Total Immersion and the “Transfigured City:” Shared Augmented Realities, the “Web Squared Era,” and Google Wave Above is an image above from Total Immersion’s augmented reality experience developed for the “Networked City” exhibition in South Korea, – “a fun scenario created for a u-City’s infrastructure and city management service” “To the naked eye, the exhibit looks like a bare bones model of a city. But when visitors put on the special AR goggles a whole new world unfolds – as graphics overlaid on the city model. ” ( Games Alfresco) “The Networked City,” is a large scale augmented virtuality of a scenario for a networked city. Ubiquitous computing and augmented reality are like adenine and thymine – a DNA base pair. A sky view of Incheon Free Economic Zone ( from Korean IT Times ). Korea IT Times writes about the u-city concept: “Korea began using the term u-City after accepting the concept of ubiquitous computing, a post-desktop model of human-computer interaction created by Mark Weiser, the chief technologist of the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in California, in 1998. 1.

Augmented Reality I think we can all agree that reality is pretty great. It’s what we experience through our senses like our eyes, and phones with cameras. The Internet is awesome too, but the Internet and reality have a hard time working together. Thankfully this is changing quickly. New tools mean that the world around you can now be seen with a layer of new information from the Internet. Let's start with an example. Let’s say you're hungry and at a busy intersection. But now, thanks to new software on mobile phones, you can simply point your phone's camera at buildings around you and voila! Another example is shopping. And this functionality only requires a few things. Augmented reality can also work with a camera attached to your computer. These examples are just the beginning.
Future Tech: Looking Forward to the Post-Screen Era | Gadgets Over the past few years, I’ve developed two habits that have made me an increasingly unpopular movie date. One is a strong preference for 3-D movies, undeterred by low artistic value or by sensations commonly associated with brain tumors and food poisoning, not to mention the big, dorky, blinking plastic glasses. (I can’t wait to upgrade my home TV to 3-D—my family, bless them, having assured me that blinking glasses are the least of my problems when it comes to looking dorky.) The other is that I’ve come to like sitting ever closer to the theater screen, advancing at the rate of approximately one row every six months. See, I’m trying to go beyond watching movies to being inside movies. Researchers feel my pain, apparently, because some of them have been working on peeling video off glass displays so that filmed objects appear to hang out in the thin air around us. Transforming televisions into contact lenses turns out to be a difficult feat even in our age of micro- miniaturization.
'Terminator' contact lens for rabbits; humans are next The future has never looked more like a science fiction movie Researchers from the University of Washington and Aalto University in Finland are one step closer to developing a contact lens that may one day allow you to see words displayed over your regular field of vision -- just like the Terminator, RoboCop and EVA from Pixar's "Wall-E." Potential applications of this developing technology include navigation, gaming, and receiving instant data on the vulnerabilities of those you are trying to destroy. In a study published in the November issue of the Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering, the paper’s authors explain that the lens would receive data through an antenna that is embedded right inside it--- (the round gold circle in the picture above). So far, researchers have only been able to put one pixel on the contact lens, which would manifest itself to the wearer as just a tiny dot of light. In other words, he'll be back.
