I blogged a while ago about a GREAT TED video on augmented reality (see below or archives). Engadget posted a fun piece today on that subject. I’m not convinced that what you see in the video is actually AR. I know enough about Final Cut Studio to know that all this could be post-processing. Still it makes a good point in a fun way.
This great talk by Pattie Maes of the MIT Fluid Interfaces Grup is really amazing. Pattie’s team works on the cutting edge of user interface design and man-machine interaction.
This project is focused on augmented reality but takes a much more acceptable and pragmatic approach to the subject than previous attempts. With nothing more than $350 dollars worth of off-the-shelf hardware, Pranav Mistry, one of Pattie’s students has built a fully functional and highly usable “6th sense” device. I could go on, but at this point, if you’re still interested I think it’s best if you see for yourself.
