Augmented Reality
Posted by Nathan Thai on April 26, 2010
Augmented reality, surprisingly enough, is here. Few people realize that virtual environments have already been meshed into our lives. From the battlefield to consumer culture we have seen a slow, perhaps even subversive, integration of augmented reality.
The new Iron Man movie features a website that pings a user’s webcam and uses face tracking algorithms to overlay a virtual image of Iron Man’s helmet onto the person in front of the terminal. This is just a small example of augmented reality. I look forward to see what is to come!
