    Incredible Augmented Reality Interface

    Its video like this that make me wish I was a better, more inspired researcher.  A great idea, designed and developed at low-cost to create a highly impressive Augmented Reality system.  Baring in mind that this is just a prototype, it really makes you wonder how much the digital world will merge with the physical world over the next few years.  AR technology is moving at such a fast pace, and in particular in the past year (co-inciding with the increasing power of portable devices like smartphones) it has really taken some leaps forward into becoming mainstream.  As well as filling our world with information and shared knowledge within seconds, it will also have great implications for gaming and I’m extremely excited for it.

    The future’s bright, the future’s augmented.

    I promise it was scrambled beforehand.

    • PS Move demos look as bad as most Wii games, but the tech itself will be quite exciting to fiddle/hack with. I do find EyePet charming tho. 11 hrs ago
