One of the most buzzed about events at the recent Frankfurt Book Fair was Metaio’s demonstration of their augmented reality book titled “Aliens & UFOs”. This regularly printed flat book burst into three dimensions when viewed through a standard webcam.
While this technology will not replace our beloved paper engineered books any time soon, I think augmented reality can be used in very creative ways. Check out this video for a preview of the next generation of nautical advertisements.
Test augmented reality out for yourself at the well-designed General Electric website. All you need is a printer for the card, a webcam for viewing and a microphone to add wind to the virtual scene.Spooky!
