Augmented Reality
Thomas Menguy | December 17, 2006After the TomSoft post : TomSoft » Augmented Reality: Total Immersion moving on CellPhone?
I’ve spent a little time digging in YouTubes to get some Augmented Reality Videos…and wow, the status of this technology is now just amazing and Total-Immersion seems to be leading edge (cocorico!). They will expose something new in Barcelona (hey Guilhem!, go and see those guys!).
Possibilities are endless, from marketing, to user manual, tourism, etc…I’m really impressed by the frollowing examples, I’m curious to know the MIPS use of such technology.

Amazing how smooth is the tracking:

Quite nice and impressive but I do not see precisely
Pascal | December 20, 2006Quite nice and impressive but I do not see precisely the final use case… particularly for mobile phone (evident for post-production).
Are you going to Barcelona? May-be I will be there…

Anyway opportunities may be found in the Game Area or Tourism (when visiting a place, you add a GPS to the bundle…and you are able to display augmented reality things like for old devasted monuments, bring a virtual representation of the building as it was, etc..)…but for sure I don’t se a killer service for now…I hope they have one!:-)
For Barcelona, I’m not sure I’ll attend this year…:-( But I would want to

Even microsoft is taking the bandwagon as described in the always good Mobile Learning Really getting an address from an advertisement right into my cellphone by taking a snapshot, or storing an appointment for a movie or a special event by taking a photo of an ad seems really valuable to me: today even with my glorified Treo with its big keyboard, I’m reluctant to loose my time entering those snippet of information.
