I really like that the shadows are used to reveal hidden worlds, augmented over the existing shadows from light. As you move the light source around, [...]

I have been asked a few times about doing interactive periscopes or telescopes with augmented graphics, and my response is “well, they’ve sort of been done many many times before”. So for research I decided to post up for everyone those that I am aware of.
If you know of any more, please post in [...]

Curious Displays is the thesis project of Julia Yu Tsao (Sept 2009), a concept that explores our future relationship with displays in the home.

A screen set in the forest provides a real time portal into a virtual world of hidden jelly/slug like creatures. The creatures react to movement, from [...]

I am a big fan of the works Berlin based Julian Oliver (see Fijuu2, levelHead & q3apd) so I am very pleased to see his latest work, The Artvertiser, come to life at the recent Transmediale.
“The Artvertiser is an urban, hand-held Improved Reality project exploring on-site substitution of advertising content for the purposes of exhibiting [...]

I am slightly cynical towards AR because many things I have seen don’t work, so I decided to post some projects that [...]

The tracking using no markers, Camille worked with the Computer Vision Laboratory of the EPFL (research page), using their BazAR library.
