Have you ever heard of the fascinating new technology called Augmented Reality? It allows you to add virtual 3D-content to your real environment - even more - to interact with this 3D-content in your personal space. My video shows an example where we superimposed 3d-content on a classical encyclopedia (a kind of a magic book) Augmented Reality will change to way we use information in the future. You can meet your friends while walking through the street, your virtual buddy walking next to you. You can shop online and try out your favorite products (e.g. furnitures) in your living room before buying them. Generally speaking Augmented Reality brings to together two worlds: The real world and the virtual world. This will allow to combine every kind of user related content with the personal world of the user. Please feel free to comment on the video or ask questions on the technology behind.UPDATE: 1 year later - thank you very much for all your inspiring feedback and comments. Today this technology is already in use for books and interactive advertisement tools. There is also a live-demo available. For trials please go to www.metaio.comor send us an email to info@metaio.com Less

Mar 12, 2010 - I can't, it was removed. Sorry.

Mar 12, 2010 - Well, yeah. But stick on a pair of glasses with screens in them, put a camera over each eye et voila! Instant stereoscopic interactive computer.

Mar 12, 2010 - @MacTutorials1992 Well - matchmoving in realtime is actually AR. But you couldn't possibly tell in a recorded movie, it might have been rendered ... or captured. So - AR is really only AR when you're present when it happens. And if you see it again, it's a glitch in the matrix ;-)

Mar 12, 2010 - maybe if you would have seen the person's comment above me you would have better understood mine.
MacTutorials1992 Says:
Mar 12, 2010 - haha this is not AR, this is matchmoving...
Mophead800 Says:
Mar 12, 2010 - @ADeadRock Duh, that's what AR is.

Mar 12, 2010 - It wont be long until we are all wearing glasses or contacts that can bring the digital world into the real world. It will be amazing, think of the applications. Lets say an urban designer or preservationist wants to view what a main street or whatever looked like 150 years ago in order to restore its character. You could superimpose antique photos over the image you seeing and walk around it. And or make 3d models to see what a reconstructed historic building would look like. Just think....

sunraven0 Says:
Mar 12, 2010 - Yes, this video is what is seen through the webcam. The 3D objects, video, whatever are linked to the markers in the book. Cool idea, but you are actually looking at black boxes on the pages, you have to look on the computer screen to see the cool stuff through the webcam.
AkinaGod Says:
Mar 12, 2010 - your an idiot...
cetko13 Says:
Mar 12, 2010 - it's not FAKE it's AR!!!
ADeadRock Says:
Mar 12, 2010 - of course this is fake. he obliviously isn't seeing this through his eyes, but the webcam is taking video, and then the AR toolkit alters that video
duunganga Says:
Mar 12, 2010 - I agree with what some of the previous posters are saying that this is inaccurate. You need to read about Augmented Reality and re-write your info bit.
elancrew Says:
Mar 12, 2010 - Augmented reality (AR) is a field of computer research which deals with the combination of real-world and computer-generated data (virtual reality ...Idiot, huh?
IIIIFile13IIII Says:
Mar 12, 2010 - dude whoever posted this is an idiot and doesn't understand augmented reaity, augmented reality is adding something that isn't there to a live video feed and allowing it to be interacted with as if it was there

Mar 12, 2010 - ha what was once part of a cartoon now it's becoming to real life
nawitus Says:
Mar 12, 2010 - This is the future.
NikoKun Says:
Mar 12, 2010 - I want augmented reality glasses...And as a technology, augmented reality needs to move away from "markers" and more towards real world objects.
Abengoshis Says:
Mar 12, 2010 - Or a visors like Samus's on Metroid. Or GPS, Surgery. THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!
