great augmented reality business card by toxin

I found via an even greater augmented business card implementation by jonas, a german student.

Great implementation and excellent idea.

Once again Tomek alias Og2t wrote a great flash demo. This time its about machine vision and just awesome. It’s motion based head / eyetracking with a lot of cool “hacks” like blob detection – histogram analysis – motion detection and more. Furthermore Tomek wants to provide a full framework.

This is a part of the whole video filter framework I am developing just now, the inspiration came from Joa Ebert’s Image Processing library (as far as I know, he’s cooking a complete rewrite). The full source code (including Pixel Bender kernels and examples) will be soon released on Google Code and will feature face/eye tracking/gestures and few other things (surprise!) A lot of people are very sceptic about the whole eye tracking idea, they don’t believe it’s precise enough to make any use of it – I will prove that it is, and it works! (just watch closely how it tracks my eyeballs on the video!)

I tried it, but I still prefer the camshift algorithm for face detection. Anyway: GREAT WORK!

Vimeo is awesome. Once again I found a great video with augmented reality. I createad a channel “art and tech lab” you can follow it here

A good use for augmented reality:

Take a standard buisness card. Print a marker on it – there you go:

Here is the promised video to my augmented reality in 2d post

You can test it here

Description:

1. Click on color
2. Click on other color
3. Tracking starts – white circles
4. Try catching the black rect edges
5. enjoy

Sourcecode:

• This time just on email and (at this time) not for commercial use

SURF the next big thing

SURF is a computer vision technique which helps doing crazy things ;) Here is some footage showing whats possible. NOTE: no flash implementation yet ;) – I think it wouldn’t work -> performance

Augmented Reality in 2D

Once again I experimented with webcam, augmented reality and flash. Inspired by camspace.com this time I wanted to see if its posible to map a video on a rect which is moved and resized by colored objects.

Tomorrow I will post a screencast and a demo. so you can see it in action. I can’t post the sources right now but I’m on it.
