Augmented Reality on a Cellphone!
March 7th, 2006
I’ve just finished my note about Augmented Reality and cell phones, concerning YDreams, and it seems that somebody else just done it:
Viennese computer scientist Daniel Wagner has figured out a way to show
a virtual character on an i-mate SP5 cellphone, and when you move
around with the cellphone, it appears that you’re floating around this
virtual character in 3D. Other people with cellphones can also see this
character from their points of view. Augmented reality, indeed.

That was typically one of the potential usage of augmented reality. Next step is to get rid of this 2D marker, and to magically put some virtual charcacters in your hand….

[…] Earlier this year, I had a post about potential interest of augmented reality on mobile. It seems that Total Immersion, the leader of this sector - well now with a famous demo 2004 presentation -, haves the same feeling. Here is a video which shows some potential usage of AR on mobile for advertising for instance. Sorry, the video is in french. On negative things is that the demo still running on a PC, and very little to do with mobile now. One of the great things with AR on mobile, is that the concept of a camero phone allows you to use the mobile as a “window” or a “lens” that transform what you see. This feeling does not happen with the current demo where you have to look at something different to see the results. Hope that before 3GSM this will be solved (Total Immertion plans to demonstrate it on 3Gsm next year). […]

[…] Earlier this year, I had a post about potential interest of augmented reality on mobile. It seems that Total Immersion, the leader of this sector - well now with a famous demo 2004 presentation haves also plans for mobile.Here is a video which shows some potential usage of AR on mobile for advertising for instance. Sorry, the video is in french. Examples includes “augmented reality advertising”, and the manipulation of a small character. I am sure that there are much more interesting scenarios than these one, so let’s see….On negative things is that the demo still running on a PC, and very little to do with mobile now. One of the great things with AR on mobile, is that the concept of a camera phone allows you to use the mobile as a “window” or a “lens” that transform what you see. This feeling does not happen with the current demo where you have to look in a different direction to see the results.
