January 10th, 2010Voice Controlled Augmented Reality Search Interface
The Whisper Deck is a voice-controlled augmented reality data visualization tool that immerses users within a fluid information ecosystem of their own design.
Using an off the shelf Vuzix CamAR head mounted display, users can look around their local environment. A special symbol visible in the environment causes the 3D interface of the Whisper Deck to appear. Users can speak commands to the model to cause it to search the Internet and return relevant information, including spoken definitions from Wikipedia, images from Picasa, Flickr and Google Images, as well as search term comparisions from Google Trends.
NVIDIA, Ferrari and Augmented Reality
December 21st, 2009Bamzooki – Augmented Reality TV Game Show
December 5th, 2009The BBC’s Virtual Studiotechnology was used to enable realtime composition of the 3D rendered graphics with live camera feeds. Each studio camera has a dedicated render PC to render the virtual scene from that camera’s perspective. To know what a studio camera’s perspective is, each camera is fitted with a second ‘Free-D’ camera which points towards the ceiling. On the ceiling are reflective, circular bar codes. The 3-D camera data is fed to a computer system that identifies the targets on the ceiling and calculates that camera’s position and orientation, 50 times a second. Series 4 adopted vinten tracking peds instead of FREE-D as an alternative approach.
Edutainment using Augmented Reality
November 23rd, 2009AR Digital Binocular Station brings Museum to Life
The Digital Binocular Station (DBS) is based on a traditional binocular station, but adds a layer of interactive, 3D stereoscopic digital content between the user and their view of the real world.
This DBS is in the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch, New Zealand – 10 artifacts are glowing, and when looked at for 3 seconds, come to life in various ways. The main aim was to add a deeper layer of context and understanding to the artifacts – how they were made, how they were used or experienced in their original environment and the stories or legends that are associated with them.
Bring your location to life and create a new revenue stream:
- Increase interest, relevance and accessibility of your location with this unique, compelling installation.
- Create another revenue stream with its pay per use (e.g. coin-operated) features.
- Peace of mind – robust, self-contained, easy to use, and has a small footprint.
- Affordable – available to lease, and can be paid for by a fraction of the revenue collected.

Sketches become real
October 16th, 2009In-Place Augmented Reality 3D Sketching of Mechanical Systems
In Hit Lab New Zealand and the Visual Media Lab at the Ben Gurion University, Israel Hand sketching is used as a natural way for creating Augmented Reality mechanical experiments.
The user can sketch experiments and watch them simulated in 3D.
The user interacts with the system by creating, modifying, and presenting sketches to the camera.
Dollhouse Virtual Echo gets Augmented
October 4th, 2009Ever wanted a pint-sized Eliza Dushku running around your computer monitor? Well now you can.
Virtual Echo is an application released by Fox which uses Adobe Air to put Echo on your computer. You can interact with her, or just let the nine random persons appear and leave you a little message as you go about skiving off browsing the internet.
With Desktop Echo you can turn any computer into your own little Dollhouse by installing a miniaturised Echo on screen who will appear at regular interviews to help motivate you as you work.
You can increase the interaction with Augmented Reality Echo, print out a Dollhouse card icon and by holding it up to your webcam you can control a digital hologram of Echo.
