Burger King to offer $1 double cheeseburger in ARvertising Banner

Great idea BK! They did one step beyond by avoiding marker printing. Nope. This time you’ll need only 1 buck (one US dollar).

They do the Augmented Reality performance right into the banner. No waist of time nor paper.

Sniff

*project by Karolina Sobecka with software development by Jim George

As you walk down the street you are approached by a dog. He is on his guard trying to discern your intentions. He will follow you and interpret your gestures as friendly or aggressive. He will try to engage you in a relationship and get you to pay attention to him.

Sniff is an interactive projection in a storefront window. As the viewer walks by the projection, her movements and gestures are tracked by a computer vision system. A CG dog dynamically responds to these gestures and changes his behavior based on the state of engagement with the viewer.

Augmented Collaboration in Mixed Environments

Augmented Collaboration in Mixed Environments (ACME) is a mixed reality teleconferencing application based on Second Life (SL) and the OpenSim virtual worlds. Augmented Reality techniques are used for displaying virtual avatars of remote meeting participants in real physical spaces, while Augmented Virtuality, in form of video based gesture detection, enables capturing of human expressions to control avatars and to manipulate virtual objects in virtual worlds.

How far are we from “Ringo”?

“Ringo” is the final project at Bezalel academy of Arts and Design of the student Ivan Tihienko.
