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.

    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

    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.

  • frangossauro

    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??

  • jaicket

    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??

    30 years from now and the Doctor from the Star Trek series will be asking you if you need an analgesic cream, or a hypospray.

    Think about it.
    (also, change doctor image to delicious looking nurse with surgery knowledge for 100% win)

    Let’s say that luckily it turned out very well with not so much work.
