Physics and Augmented Reality – Part 2


It uses the same set-up that that video of Demo 2004 that-took-the-Internet-by-storm-some-months-ago-and-it-really-made-some-servers-crash-down-yes-it’s-true! Here it shows you could move a building ! A funny side-effect of the tracking at the end, you can hit the real table and make the virtual car shake.

    @SpelKille you can see at one moment that the camera is a robotic camera, so it knows also its position and orientation with respect to the table, it’s not a mobile device demo : it’s 5/6 years old !

    @oliver18754 It’s not on a website anywhere for the moment, it was an internal demo.

    easily, if the game is in ar then couldnt the gamer stand in a translucent ball mounted on something to enable walking motion or running motion then at mission/level change the ar simply spawns the new level data around the gamer via ar googles? any comments regaring if this would be a worth while project leave a thumbs up

    I’m afraid both of you are mistaking Virtual Reality for holograms, quite possibly due to the “holodecks” on Star Trek. A hologram is nothing more than a 3D-image, as 80′s says, they can be printed on cards, or created on computers, but have nothing to do with interaction. VR may or may not use holograms for interaction, and even then does not have to be interactive. It just has to be real. AR is the next stage of VR and clearly IS interactive. FTR, the car is not a hologram.

    You, obviously don’t know what a Hologram is. Holography has been around since the late 1940′s. Haven’t you ever seen one of those hologram stickers the change as you turn them?

    … How could a story with objectives develop in totally different areas like my house or your house? Btw, it would be really hard to make a FPS because you would need a HUGE area and that would just cost too much.

    Source please? Because you didn’t. A hologram is a 3d image of light being projected in front of you, in order for them to work you have to be able to shape and stop light, we cant do that.

    Stop making shit up.

    holagram gaming was introduced in 1973. I watched holagram figures fighting it out on a video holagram desk top at our neighborhood video arcade 35 fricking years ago.
    Come on get real why did they pull the technologies for holographic gaming 35 years? ago ( it was the new big thing )Why are they pretending it something new.
    I remember standing in line for 2 hours waiting to play my turn and had to leave.
    A few weeks later when I got back to try playing it again it was gone..weird..huh

    I find this really hard to believe, but I’m no nay-sayer. I’d love to see this realized into the market. It’s just too complicated for my simple mind haha. But like everyone has stated, this could be implemented in some video games, which would be cool to see, imagine something like mario-kart on your living room instead of in it haha.

    you dont need a screen you jsut have to get those goggles that theyve been showing all over the place that let you see your environment thru the cam mounted on your face. its really cool check it out

    this is the future of video games right here, you still paly it on a screen, but can interact with the invironment with real items and what not

    he means the gizmondo hand heald system..it had a small feature with augmented reality where you could attack a castle

    Community data and Databases (look.. google just mapped your toilet!!! and your mom!!) coupled with radio markers. No need for infrared and sonar doohickeys. But I agree, already do-able.

    err…. is there a framework that i can use to this CV techniques? It’s just insanely more advanced and cooler then ARToolkit and OpenCV general Tracking (6DOF :O)

    what gizmondo thing buddy??

  22. jaicket Says:

    I’m sure this would be possible even today, however the technology required to do it – probably a combination of infra red and sonar detection – would be very expensive for a solution which was accurate enough to be practical and far too bulky to carry around.

    Man I wish that gizmondo thing didn’t crash and burn. They’d have this Augmented reality stuff in videogames but not just videogames portable videogames.

    I know that the dimensions of the castle have already been previously recorded before this video, but is it possible, that in the future, computers will be able to calculate dimensions without the help of humans?? Say, maybe one day do you think that I will be able to go outside with an AR device and look at some random tree and see virtual squirrels running around it??
