The application is available on the Tissot website www.tissot.ch/reality and allows users, when they hold their wrist in front of a webcam, to try on watches and change models, colours and styles on their computer and see themselves in realtime 3D. With 28 different variations to choose from, consumers will be able to try on a selection of styles and select the finish and colour of their wristband from the Touch collection, including the new Sailing-Touch, T-Touch Expert and Sea-Touch. As well as seeing how the watch would look on their wrist, consumers will be able to experiment with the touch screen features of the watches, including the diver functionality of the Sea Touch and the altimeter, meteo, compass and thermometer of the wider ranges. Videos showcasing the unique features of each style will run alongside the visual of the watch on the wearers wrist. All the watches will also tell the correct time in digital and analogue.

STARK HUD 2020 FEATURES: * Matchmaker targeting, Augmented dating * Social networking tools and applications! * Geo-location services and tourist information! * Weather and traffic updates! * Mood-monitoring jukebox! PRESS: HUD (Heads Up Display) technology has long been the stuff of comic books and science fiction. Now it's a reality. Fujikawa, the Japanese electronics manufacturer released a first glimpse of their Stark HUD 2020 which will be on display at Stark Expo early next month. This is game changing technology which promises to take consumer optics and communication into another dimension. It enables the user to fully and effortlessly interact with their environment and social network: you can find out what's happening in downtown Shibuya, check the weather, catch up with friends, you can even find love. with its compatibility profiling More details such as price and launch date will be revealed at www.starkexpo2010.com. I'm loving this Iron Man 2 viral marketing stuff. Can hardly wait another week for the movie
YDreams augmented-reality platform supports depth-sensing cameras. These types of cameras make it possible to pinpoint the 3D position of the users (it supports multiple users) and objects in the environment, allowing for a true marker less augmented reality experience. The virtual objects added in the video stream react to the user as well as the real objects´ positions and movements. Unlike similar applications that use 2D cameras, this one is not sensitive to light changes, camera movements and noisy backgrounds. This is a simple demo to exemplify the user experience.

The latter half of the 20th century saw the built environment merged with media space, and architecture taking on new roles related to branding, image and consumerism. Augmented reality may recontextualise the functions of consumerism and architecture, and change in the way in which we operate within it. A film produced for my final year Masters in Architecture, part of a larger project about the social and architectural consequences of new media and augmented reality.

During the month and into January, product packaging in the US for Big Macs will feature an AR Thrill Card on the side of each box, delivering an up-close experience with the rich environments of Pandora, and revealing insights into the characters, fauna and flora from the movie. Displayed before a webcam, the perforated Thrill Card becomes a portal into three unique, immersive Pandora environments the Pandoran Rainforest, the Hallelujah Mountains and the Tree of Souls. Players control their AR experiences by moving and tilting the Thrill Cards through the world of Pandora. They are invited to Touch the Mysterious Anemonids where they watch the Pandoran Rainforest light up as they touch the bioluminescent Anemonids. Players are then beckoned to Navigate Across Ancient Vine Bridges, where they can show their balancing skills by crossing the shaky vines to reach the Hallelujah Mountains. In the third scenario, Find Mystical Woodsprites, players explore the willow tree in search of the mystical Woodsprites, and watch them come to life.

I give 3 Augmented Reality apps for the iPhone a quick test: Robotvision, Layar and Wikitude.
Another innovative campaign from Crispin Porter + Bogusky. Idol talaga. I tested out this new augmented reality from Burger King and they really pushed the technology this time. No need to print out markers for this one - a one dollar bill will do to check out the burgers. Amazing what these guys come up with.
Studio B teamed with Adobe and John Mayer to create the worlds first Augmented Reality music video. Studio B shot and keyed the green screen footage using the new Apple ProRes 444 codec. Flash Augmented Reality (FLAR) is a way of creating a digital hologram in 3D space by holding up a marker to your computer's camera and activating a special piece of Flash software. As you can see in this video, I'm holding up a piece of paper with the designated marker (in this case a broken heart), and the video of John Mayer follows it around the screen, and even tilts in 3D space! The FLAR technology was featured in WIRED Magazine, and you can check out their video as well. You can try out John Mayer's Augmented Reality video for yourself at www.johnmayer.com. Studio B Films is a video production company based in the San Francisco Bay Area specializing in documentary, sales and marketing sizzle videos, customer stories, motion graphics, corporate communications, green screen shooting, and creative video editing.
Hand sketching is used here as a natural way for creating Augmented Reality mechanical experiments. The user can sketch experiments and watch them simulated in 3D. The user interacts with the system by creating, modifying, and presenting sketches to the camera. Check it out at gamesalfresco.com
As part of our exploration into the potential benefits of using AR for maintenance and repair, we designed, implemented, and user tested a prototype augmented reality application to support military mechanics conducting routine maintenance tasks inside an armored vehicle turret. Our prototype uses a tracked head-worn display to augment a mechanics natural view with text, labels, arrows, and animated sequences designed to facilitate task comprehension, location, and execution. A within-subject controlled user study examined professional military mechanics using our system to complete 18 common tasks under field conditions. These tasks included installing and removing fasteners and indicator lights, and connecting cables, all within the cramped interior of an armored personnel carrier turret. An augmented reality condition was tested against two baseline conditions: an untracked head-worn display with text and graphics and a fixed flat panel display representing an improved version of the laptop-based documentation currently employed in practice. The augmented reality condition allowed mechanics to locate tasks more quickly than when using either baseline, and in some instances, resulted in less overall head movement. A qualitative survey showed mechanics found the augmented reality condition intuitive and satisfying for the tested sequence of tasks.
