Very cool use of Google Maps. Augmenting Aerial Earth Maps with Dynamic Information. Currently using crowd-casted videos, we generate a dynamic alive city in augmented virtual earth maps.
This is an AR-based experiment that enables the user to lift textures from real-world objects in live video and apply them onto 3D objects that are overlayed on top of them.
Only box primitives are supported here, but the general idea could be extended to other types of 3D primitives or potentially even more complex objects with some clever image compositing and UV mapping.
This is new app from Metaio can overlay tweets, messages, web pages and models in a real space for others to see.
The demo is pretty basic but it’s an interesting development. Personal or private tagging.. shop, restaurants and services with virtual comments for people to view by pointing a mobile at the location.
A simple, featherweight headset, a 10′ x 10′ x 10′ white room, and $600,000 worth of projector and computer equipment, combined with the smarts of the folks at Eon Reality, results in one insanely real experience.
