Experience the Augmented Reality wonder!

Posted on August 22, 2009 by Gianluigi Cuccureddu

Augmented Reality is on the rise and each week Augmented Reality is in the news, but still, for many its unreal, ungraspable and are not in the oppertunity to see in real life any of the futuristic applications of AR which can be seen on many videos on Youtube and Vimeo.

I found this really easy application, which only needs a webcam and Flash and experience yourself the Augmented Reality amazement!

Papervision – Augmented Reality (click the link for the original webpage)

Using a webcam and flash, we’ve taken ‘Proto’ from the desktop to the desk.  A new and exciting way to interact with your flash content.  The possibilities are wide open.

Try it for yourself below:

  1. Make sure you download and print out our NEW symbol
  2. Allow flash access to your webcam below when it asks (or right click flash and select settings).
  3. Point your webcam at the printed symbol, ‘Proto’ will appear on top.

    It will just create a jaw dropping experience, until they start building apps which really change the way we live or do business.

    My pessimistic side tells me that eventually it will turn into a “recreation apps world” for 12-15 years old but my optimistic side tells me that you can still make money out of that too.

    @Adam:

    Great game! The oppertunities are vast, these kind of gaming will add a whole new impulse to the industry.

    Good luck!

    @Shaq:

    Life and business changing apps are planned to be build or are already build, a German car-producer already works with AR, Ray Ban is coming up with AR in sunglasses etc etc.

    Architecture won’t be the same anymore, shopping as well, I could go on and on.
