Augmented Reality

  Of course what makes home-made augmented reality have such a huge impact is it's marriage with hand-held computing devices. What I do now is bring my 3M handheld projector to places like Egypt and hook it up to my Ipod and show people videos and animations of what we are going to build, projecting onto surfaces like satellite dishes or walls. But with augmented reality I will soon be able to take my animations or models of renewable energy systems and show people exactly how it would look ON THEIR ROOF in real time. Now THAT will make a huge difference!

This is the best explanation of the potential of augmented reality I've seen yet; the best thing is that we can now create our OWN augmented reality as teachers, as students, as citizens using our own PC's and webcams. Check it out and get involved!

ARTag markers on hand-held and wearable objects -see www.artag.net. A Magic Mirror paradigm is an augmented reality (AR) system where a camera and display device act as a mirror where one can see a reflection of oneself and virtual objects together.


  Augmented Reality - definitely worth exploring not only for our presentations but to have on-line discussions about the use and placement of our renewable energy systems. A great way to mix 3d models and computer graphics with real world spaces.
