Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality World | 拡張現実と仮想現実の世界

Amiens Cathedral (アミアン大聖堂)　が拡張現実で登場。左上に太陽の絵が表示されているが、これをマウス操作で月の絵に変更することで、夜の大聖堂に表示が変わる点がユニークだ。
これを試したら、きっと本物の大聖堂を見たくなるだろう。



Here comes the first city to communicate in Augmented Reality. A bright new looks for the world’s largest Gothic nave …
Amiens Cathedral is taking part in an Augmented Reality operation to re-launch its light show initially created in 1999.
This will not be a traditional virtual visit, such as the ones which can be found on Google Maps; “The whole Cathedral has been modelled day and night in 3D with light shows” explains  Mr. Cédric Piatek, Amiens Metropole . And virtuality will mix with reality.
Each and everyone will be able to connect to an Internet site together with a distributed leaflet or a downloaded document to hold in front of a web cam. “Then the magic will begin, the person will be on screen, part of the show, as the document displayed to the web cam becomes a support for the visit of the Cathedral”.
