My mother always told me ‘don’t play with your food’. Papa John’s are encouraging you to do exactly that with their augmented reality pizza box. This is an excellent idea of blending AR with advertising and an engaging user experience. You place the box under your webcam and take the AR car for a test drive. [...]

You can’t beat a bit of zombie action. ARhrrrrr is a pretty fun looking zombie AR game developed for Indiecade 2009 (independent games festival) Fly over a city in your helicopter shooting zombies and saving civilians. A nice touch of placing Skittles (the sweets) on the map and using them as power ups.

Here’s a new video posted up on YouTube that shows augmented reality integration with VoIP. When I saw the tweets about the video buzzing around the twittersphere I thought it might be something cool that would be great for Skype integration. Having watched the video I’m not sure that I’d feel comfortable sitting at my [...]

Everyone including Eminem is jumping on the augmented reality band wagon at the moment. I don’t know if it’s me but this competition has been promoted really poorly. Maybe it’s just the marketing manager part of me that thinks they could have done a lot more with promoting it but it’s the first I’ve heard of [...]

I love this tanks demo

GE have put together a couple of cool demos to show wind turbines and solar energy usage.  I like the ability to generate wind by blowing on your PC’s microphone. The little scarecrow guy is cool as well. In the demo the guy is using his iPhone, I searched around on the GE page for details [...]

Good morning, Wednesday again and a crappy one at that. If your an Arsenal supporter then you’ll know what I mean. Here’s an interesting video from the Demo event back in 2007. The demo is interesting because it covers several areas of augmented reality that are getting popular today. The demos they show are still marker [...]

Twitter seems to be full of old stuff for the last few days, augmented Sasquatch and magic trick demos are re-tweeting around. As there is nothing new, I thought I’d add to the mayhem with a video of my all time favourite augmented reality demo. There are a lot of demos to choose from but for [...]

When I was a kid I collected football cards, they came with really cheap pink gum and the object was to collect all the players and stick them in an album you’d never open again. I wished I kept them, probably worth a fortune now on eBay. I can’t help feel jealous of the trading cards [...]

The most impressive augmented reality demos I have seen to date have come from the guys at HIT Lab NZ. Not only have they been doing fantastic stuff, but unlike a lot of the demos out there which are just YouTube videos, HIT Lab’s give you applications to install and play around with. So if you [...]
