We are all starting to see simple applications of augmented reality (AR) becoming available on our smartphones these days but here is one that comes to our desktop. No… not our desktop computer, literally our desktop. Joon Moon has created a fun AR program where the AR layer is not merely displayed to the user but actually allows the user to interact with the AR. Simply put, this is totally cool! This is certainly more entertaining than playing solitaire and I am sure more than half of us would get a real kick out of playing with this for hours!
It is interesting to consider the implications of AR that can be interacted with. Traditional AR has always been an overlay of digital information on top of our existing reality while interaction has remained largely in the world of virtual reality (VR). Now with interactive AR the two (AR and VR) are starting to have increasing areas of overlap. The future is going to be interesting indeed!
The world’s first ever Immersive Technology Summit will be held at the Los Angeles Center Studios (LACS) on October 21st, 2010.
