Augmented Reality Mind Blow



Okay,
So this is the coolest thing since Web cameras came along.

It's Augmented Reality. The combination of your webcamera and Flash Technology to provide a new interactive online experience.

GE has a great demo at:

You will need flash 10 installed and an active webcamera for your computer.
You will print a target which you present to camera for 3-d spatial orientation.
Check out the Utube video at :

Topps baseball cards is using this technology for 3-d interactive Baseball cards

Imagine, targets printed on street signs, that you shoot with your iPhone for interactive street maps. Targets on packaging so you can see exactly what's inside of the box. Imagine the uses in interactive gaming and surgical training......

This is worth the time to check it out.
Truly a gamechanger-
