Le blog de Charlizzzzzz - 732 millions de dollars, C'est d'après Juniper Research la taille du marché de la réalité augmentée dans 5 ans. Au delà de la précision millimétrée de l'estimation, c'est le montant qui frappe. Pour un marché qui n'existait pas il y a à peine six mois. Il a suffit que les terminaux Android et l'iPhone 3GS en donnent la possibilité, pour que les services fleurissent. Même si on sait la fragilité de telles prévisions, il est certains en revanche que la Réalité Augmentée est un de sujets chauds de cette fin d'année et probablement un des plus dynamiques en 2010. Et, pour une fois dans l'Internet Mobile, ce sont des européens qui mènent la danse. The Future Of Online Dating? Home » iPhone , Mobile , News Last week I was presenting on augmented reality at a minibar event in central London. As part of my talk I was giving an overview on the opportunities and how companies can include augmented reality functionality in their existing solutions. Street Spark is an augmented reality dating application for the iPhone that allows you to see other single people who are around you and send them private messages. To avoid being spammed by psychos and bunny boilers, if you spot someone you like you can express your interest by ‘igniting’. Rather than attempt to match you with people 50 miles away, you are able to sign into HotSpots, so if you visit lets say London Soho you can sign in to the area and see who else is using the application around you, and that’s where the augmented reality view comes into effect. StreetSpark is free and you can download it here . Give it a try this weekend, I would be interested in how you got on. Did you like this?

Blog Archive » The Reality of Augmented Reality In 2009 augmented reality technology (AR) became mainstream. Though it has been under development for over four decades, in the past year it was prominently featured in major ad campaigns and was on the cover of Esquire. Concurrently, Layar, Wikitude, and a number of AR applications were released for mobile phones. The future potential of AR has now captured the imagination of both the public and the press. In an effort to help manage expectations regarding AR technology, I will briefly describe what works today while clarifying what we can expect in the future. Augmented Reality Glasses are not Viable in the Near Term When covering AR, a number of technology pundits have assumed that within the next few years, we can expect head mounted displays or augmented reality “glasses” to become the best display for AR applications. -Fakespace Labs “Wide 5” : Easily, the most immersive head mounted display I have tried, it can be modified for video see through augmented reality applications.
API for mobile augmented reality developers I ran an interesting workshop at Mobile World Congress for people interested in augmented reality. The topic, should I build a plug-in for another application was one of the groups discussion topics. Some of the audience members were in favour of building plug-ins and I can see the attraction. Products like Layar and Wikitude provide you with the application leaving you only to worry about your POIs. With all these benefits there must be some drawbacks? Complexity: if you are looking for a solution that goes beyond clicking on a POI and displaying data then building a plug-in is not for you. The other option is building an application yourself; the obvious benefits are you control everything and if your application is chargeable you keep a lions share of the money, but it’s not without its draw backs either: But probably the hardest issue to address is how do you get started? Use the Wikitude API Call the code in your iPhone applications Build an AR application in under an hour
3 Reasons Why Games Are The Killer App For Augmented Reality We all are great believers in the potential of Augmented Reality (AR). Within the next 10 years, we say, it will totally change the way we interact with the world. But what industry will be the first to bring AR to the masses? When you co-found a company that focuses on Augmented Reality games – and especially – when it secures an investment from a venture capital firm – you have some deeper explaining to do. Here are 3 key (business) reasons why games will be the first industry to spearhead augmented reality into the mainstream: Reason #1 Games are the killer app for emerging technologies Games Accelerate the Adoption of New Technologies by the Mainstream Games have a history of pushing the envelop of new technologies and bringing new inventions to the masses: computer graphics, memory, silicon, screens, 3D animation, interactive story telling, immersion…and the list goes on and on. Nolan Bushnell (the legendary founder of Atari) wrote back in 1996: Was the first PC a video game console?
ARMAR Introduction Augmented Reality for Maintenance and Repair (ARMAR) explores the use of augmented reality to aid in the execution of procedural tasks in the maintenance and repair domain. The principal research objective of this project is to determine how real time computer graphics, overlaid on and registered with the actual repaired equipment, can improve the productivity, accuracy, and safety of maintenance personnel. (Left) A mechanic wearing a tracked head-worn display performs a maintenance task on a Rolls Royce DART 510 Engine.

Benefits of using AR for Task Localization Benefits of using AR for Task Performance The next step in our work [Henderson & Feiner, ISMAR 2011] addressed how augmented reality could assist users in the relatively under-explored psychomotor phase of procedural tasks.

The First Augmented Reality Star Wars Game, Falcon Gunner, Hits The App Store Star Wars and video games go hand-in-hand. There is a long line of Star Wars-themed games going back to the days of arcade games, and continuing through home console and mobile games. Now, the first augmented reality Star Wars game for the iPhone just hit the app store. The game starts with the scene from the original Star Wars inside the Millennium Falcon after they escape the Death Star and the TIE Fighters attack. The game also has an augmented reality mode which replaces the computer graphics background with your camera view. Falcon Gunner is licensed from Lucasfilm and published by THQ Wireless, but it was designed and developed by Vertigore Games, a startup incubated at Futurity Ventures. Star Wars Arcade is not a two or three-man effort. An iPad version will come out soon, and Vertigore hopes to create more Star Wars-themed games in the future (hence, the “Arcade” in the name), which will tie together different immersive adventures across the Star Wars universe.
De la réalité augmentée à la réalité mixte Par Hubert Guillaud le 27/01/10 | 8 commentaires | 7,064 lectures | Impression En 2009, les applications de réalité augmentée (Layar, Wikitude…) ont été à la mode, comme l’a rappelé de nombreux articles du ReadWriteWeb, qui a fait de la réalité augmentée l’une des tendances de l’année 2009. Les applications ludiques, accessibles via l’iPhone, ont commencé à conquérir le grand public, comme le résume très bien la longue liste des succès dressée par Ori Inbar de l’excellent Games Alfresco, dont les drones de Parrot dévoilé au récent CES sont certainement le dernier emblème en date (vidéo). Les limites de la réalité augmentée Bien que peu nombreuses, les critiques n’ont pas manqué sur ces systèmes. Dans le domaine des réalités alternatives, sans vouloir quantifier les niveaux de réalité possible, comme nous met en garde Philippe Quéau, c’est l’hybridation entre le réel et le virtuel qui semble la plus intéressante à observer. Les promesses de la réalité mixte Sur ces mêmes sujets
16 Top Augmented Reality Business Models As promised a more specific ‘commercial’ follow up to my previous post on this topic which was more ‘story’ centric. I am developing & producing a range of Augmented Reality (or if you prefer AR, ‘blended or layered media’) applications at the moment. I have also been asked to present at a few conferences and create a detailed white paper on the implications of AR for government & business looking at privacy, legal, copyright & crime issues. But the purpose of this short post is to simply list and try to categorise the many types of business Augmented Reality apps appearing in the market. Information, 3D models or live action blended with or overlaid onto the physical world in real time. But the purpose of this pretty detailed post is to simply list and try to categorise the many types of business Augmented Reality apps appearing in the market and to try to identify opportunities.

Quand les cookies deviennent des marqueurs de réalité augmentée. Le 13 November 2009 - Par clement - Dans Actualité, Concepts, Démonstration, Vidéos La réalité augmentée s’incruste vraiment un peu partout, après les Chocapic et leur boite en réalité augmentée c’est au tour des cookies en réalité augmentée. Cette oeuvre chocolatée réalisée par l’américain Mike Clare est tout simplement surprenante. Il lui a fallu calculer les dimensions de chaque bande de chocolat mais aussi de les disposées de la façon la plus parfaite afin que celui fonctionne bien comme un marqueur devant la webcam. La recette de ce cookie pour Geek est un peu plus longue que les cookies basiques mais vous pouvez les manger tout en vous amusant. Juste un ingrédient était manquant pour un cookie réussi : la réalité augmentée. Tags : chocapic, chocolat, cookies, mike clare, réalité augmentée, realite augmentee cookies, recette cookie
