  1. Previous research by BlueLightning · · Score: 2 · on DIY Augmented Reality Heads-Up Display

    Seems like augmented reality has been a popular research area in Australia for a while. At LCA a few years ago there was a presentation by another PhD student on his AR project and I even got to try out the gear (somewhat bulkier than this latest one though):

  2. ARToolkit by diodegod · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Measure Anything with a Camera and Software

    It may be possible to get ARToolkit to do this. It's dual-licensed under the GPL so it's OSS. If you want to play with it just get a v4l video capture device and print out the squares.

    ARToolkit's been used by the University of South Australia to create ARQuake which is a lot of fun to use with the actual wearable computer :) Thanks Wayne Piekarski from UniSA for letting me play ARQuake on that thing at linux.conf.au in 2003.

    I'm not sure if they used ARToolkit or something more in-house to make Tinmith, that looks really sweet.

  3. How does this work? by pdr77 · · Score: 5, Interesting · on Gaze Detector Lets You Hear With Your Eyes

    Does this actually follow your gaze without looking at your eyes? Surely the headphones can't be sensitive enough to pick up the neural or nervous signalling?

    Still, it seems quite rudimentary compared with other AR projects like Tinmith: http://www.tinmith.net/

    This is freakin' awesome, if you're into Augmented Reality (like I am). Just think of all the cool things you could do if you combined it with stuff like this!

  5. How to do it at home by S3D · · Score: 1 · on Minority Report UI For The Military

    Well, you can implement cheaper and less robast hand-tracking camera system with little coding using open sourced Augmented reality system - ARToolkit. Put small ARToolkit markers on the gloves as described at this article (photo, and implement some gesture recognition (for example that one )

  6. Boy are you about to suffer worldview shock by themusicgod1 · · Score: 1 · on Perfect Digital Skin

    If you can't tell the difference between a picture on a screen vs. someone in real life, then there's something wrong with you.

    Behold! the future!

    Granted, I agree that it's mostly BS. but I have a chilling feeling that some day, somewhere, the difference between computer-game and reality is going to get really blurry. Compare pac man and pong with UT2004 for some sort of an example.
