Try on Clothes in an Augmented Reality Changing Room



Try on clothes and share photos with your friends on Facebook before you buy. Tobi.com launches an Augmented Reality showroom powered by Fashionista.

Online clothes retailing is perhaps one of the appropriate markets for this technology.  It is a market where the visual appeal of the clothing matched with the potential customer is critical to the buying decision. Fashionista partially bridges the gap between in-person shopping and on-line shopping.

PS3 Virtual Pet Reacts to Voices, Gestures and Objects



By David Y Tan  Oct 23, ‘09
Too lazy to look after a real pet? Sony launches a new Virtual Pet game for the PS3 that combines elements of Augmented Reality, Gesture Technology and Artificial Intelligence.

The EyePet is fully aware of the people and objects in the room.  It reacts to voices and gestures as well as toys the player puts on screen.

“By completing daily tasks, you can teach your EyePet brand new games to play”

“Poke him and he jumps, stroke him and he’ll roll over in contentment, tickle him and he’ll laugh.”

This will be a welcome alternative for parents looking for a game that isn’t centered around fighting.  And … it may give them a short break from the kids pestering for a real pet.

Computers Are Getting Eyes



LM3LABS showreel from Just Promo on Vimeo.

from lm3labs.com:
“Getting rid of the hardware constraints and limitations is the ultimate goal for a seamless, transparent, and nature conscious world. A simple camera can make far more (intelligent decisions?) than thousands of sensors and cables. Cameras and smarter software will replace many hardware in a very close close future. Product and face recognition, motion analysis, tracking, are to invade our world, for the best. Computers are getting eyes.”
