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

Integrated with the revolutionary Augmented Reality technology, this game bring a whole new level of interaction and user experience for you.

Put an one US dollar in front of your ipad camera, you will see a little buddy stand on it! and you can kick him to dig gold for you!
Once you get more money and more experience, you can buy different tools and change to different characters, we are adding more characters in coming

株式会社ニワンゴは、“ニコニコトレンド発信基地” 「ニコニコ本社』(渋谷区神宮前)にて、2011 年 12 月 10 日(土)~25 日(日)の期間限定で、 “一人でもクリスマスを楽しむ”をテーマにしたクリスマスイベントを開催する。

「ニコニコ本社」外壁には、世界初※となる AR技術のみで作られたイルミネ ーションが現れる「ニコニコ AR イルミネーション」を開催します。2F「TEA ROOM 2525」の生放送ブース「TEA スタ」では、好きな 3D キャラクターを選択し、生放送用のカメラを通じて画面を見ると AR マーカー上にキャラ クターが現れ、一人でも寂しくないニコニコ生放送を配信できる「手ぶらでクリスマスパーティ!(AR 嫁付き)」 を実施します。また、3F「ニコニコショップ」では、一人でも(見知らぬ人と)プレゼント交換ができるコーナー が登場するなど、様々な企画を展開します。

※屋外でマーカーから出現する AR の事例として、「AR イルミネーション」は世界初となります(アララ株式会社調べ)

Peering into Tesco's augmented reality

Tesco expects to run the trials to the end of the year, with weekly checks on how it is going. The in-store programme uses the same augmented reality tool provided on Tesco's website, with the technology provided by Kishino.

The UK’s largest supermarket chain has started a trial of augmented reality technology in its stores, aiming to bring certain products to life and save on shelf space. From today shoppers will be able to hold a Tesco Direct catalogue or a product key up to webcams in the supermarket aisles, and generate life-size 3D projections of products to learn about their specifications before making a purchase.

クリスマスのためのカメラアプリ。簡易なARで実現しているようだ。

Christmas is huge in South Korea, and Korean smartphone app developer Blue Wind, in collaboration with SK Networks Internet, have created White Christmas, a free augmented reality camera app.

Augmented Reality helps you learn more about your surroundings by over-laying digital information on top of real life environments. You can use apps like Layar and Google Goggles through your connected device and they can automatically search the internet for more information. But how good are they in practice?
Check out our video on on the London skyline to find out.

Brother Singapore introduces new inkjet Multi-Function Centre Series with 3D Augmented Reality.

we propose a planar target tracking method that exploits a barcode containing information about the target. 

Our method combines both barcode detection and natural feature tracking methods to track a planar object efficiently on mobile devices. 
A planar target is detected by recognizing the barcode located near the target, and the target's keypoints are tracked in video sequences. 
We embed the information related to a planar object into the barcode, and the information is used to limit image regions to perform keypoint matching between consecutive frames. 
We show how to detect a barcode robustly and what information is embedded for efficient tracking. 
Our detection method runs at 30 fps on modern mobile devices, and it can be used for mobile augmented reality applications using planar targets.

In this paper, we evaluate a path editing method using a tangible user interface to generate and manipulate the movement path of a 3D object in an Augmented Reality (AR) scene. To generate the movement path, each translation point of a real 3D manipulation prop is examined to determine which point should be used as a control point for the path. Interpolation using splines is then used to reconstruct the path with a smooth line. A dynamic score-based selection method is also used to effectively select small and dense control points of the path. In an experimental evaluation, our method took the same time and generated a similar amount of errors as a more traditional approach, however the number of control points needed was significantly reduced. For control manipulation, the task completion time was quicker and there was less hand movement needed. Our method can be applied to drawing or curve editing methods in AR educational, gaming, and simulation applications.
