(via http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/digital-living/5877520/Japans-digital-divas-take-to-the-stage)Japan's two newest stars have all the basics of being a pop idol down. Their dance moves are sharp, they sing without missing a beat, and their songs have made the top 10.
The only thing is, neither one of them exists.
The green-haired "Megpoid" and red-haired "Akikoloid" are both completely computer generated, the latest in a line of popular digital characters based on a voice-synthesizing program that allows users to create their own music.
They were the stars of a concert during the recent Digital Concept Expo in Tokyo.
Music made by "Vocaloid," the voice-synthesizing programme, and its spin-off characters, has made it into the top 10 on Japan's weekly top hits list. But for those watching the concert, the performance was nothing more than thin air - unless they looked at the screen showing the augmented reality (AR) scene with the 3D characters inserted into live video.
Developed by the California-based company Making Virtual Solid, True3D is billed as “an augmented reality navigational display engine designed to provide non-distracting, translucent location guidance.” That’s another way of saying that True3D takes the HUD to its logical conclusion.
That’s the idea behind the True3D, which recently won the EUR20,000 Galileo Master 2011 grand prize at this year’s European Satellite Navigation Competition in Munich, Germany.

This is an actual field test done with an earlier iteration of the HUD prototype. The line rendered here is inferior to the current prototype, but it's still compelling, and when viewed in person, obviously volumetric and 3 dimensional.
(via http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2011-10/28/augmented-reality-gps)A heads-up display system for cars, which highlights routes and signs in augmented reality, took home the grand prize in Munich at the European Satellite Navigation Competition.
It's called the True3D HUD and it's made by a company called MVS-California. One part of the system, Virtual Cable, turns your route into an omnipresent red guidewire, bending and winding high above the road to show which roads you should take.

(via http://blog.programmableweb.com/2011/10/25/layar-winners-display-augmented-reality-commerce/)Layar, the World’s leading mobile augmented reality platform, had thrown open the Layar Creation Challenge this August. Developers were asked to use theLayar Vision API to create their own layers on top of the Layar Browser and provide new experiences that merged the physical world with the digital world. The results are out and the winners were able to successfully demonstrate not just viewing additional content but also being able to translate that to commerce. The entries were invited in 4 categories: Magazines, Books, Self Publishing and Anything Goes. The prize money totalled $55K with $15K, $10K and $5K for the top 3 winners.
“We encouraged developers to think big and they showed they were up to the challenge by coming up with creative, smart business ideas that have lasting value for both the user and layer publisher,” said Maarten Lens-FitzGerald, Layar co-founder and General Manager.
The first prize winner was AR Posters by Willem Veenstra. You can use AR Posters to create posters for events and allows promoters to add interactivity like Visit Website, Trailers, Ticket Giveways, all powered by a Content Management System.
The second prize went to Buy It! By Antonio Aponte, which allows you to scan product packaging and do comparative pricing between retailers, finally letting you even purchase the items.
The third prize winner was Food2You by Voxar Labs, which lets you scan a food menu and view not just ingredients, nutrional information but even gives options to request delivery or find physical locations.
二次元の写真の中に自然な三次元空間を創造する画期的な技術
イリノイ大学アーバナシャンペーン校の Kevin Karsch, Varsha Hedau, David Forsyth そして Derek Hoiemは、正確なライティングモデルを生成する新しい画像合成のアルゴリズムを開発した。それは既存の光-推定法に基づいて構築するジオメトリを使用し、レンダリングソフトウェアの任意の型で動作できると研究者は説明する。シーンのジオメトリと被写界深度を分解し、高速でかつ細かい計算により光源と反射の情報を反映させているようだ。
Software Seamlessly Inserts New Objects Into Existing Photographs
A simple programming tool can build a model of a scene in a two-dimensional photograph and insert a realistic-looking synthetic object into it. Unlike other augmented reality programs, it doesn’t use any tags, props or laser scanners to model a scene’s geometry — it just uses a small number of markers and accounts for lighting and depth. The result is an augmented scene with proper perspective, which looks so realistic that testers could not distinguish between an original photo and a modified one.
With just a single image and some annotation by a user, the program creates a physical model of a scene, as demonstrated in the video below.
Kevin Karsch, Varsha Hedau, David Forsyth and Derek Hoiem at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign developed a new image composition algorithm to generate an accurate lighting model. It uses geometry to build upon existing light-estimation methods, and it can work with any type of rendering software, the researchers explain. It works by breaking down the scene’s geometry and depth of field, and then determining how much of the scene’s overall illumination is a result of reflection (albedo) and how much directly emanates from light fixtures. This provides light parameters that can be transposed onto an inserted object. The team has developed algorithms for interior lights and for external light sources, typically light shafts from the sun.
The method could be used for video games, movies, home decorating or other uses. The work is slated to be presented at SIGGRAPH Asia 2011.

(via http://www.mediabistro.com/agencyspy/the-new-vw-beetle-gets-extreme-augmented_b24940)It’s hard to believe that it’s been over 13 years since we were introduced to VW’s “New Beetle,” aka the vehicle that saved Volkswagen from years of declining sales. Boosted by a worldwide ad blitz that featured work from, among others, the agency that introduced the original Beetle 30 years prior (DDB), the “New Beetle” continued on its predecessor’s legacy of being a vehicle that found great success as a direct result of focused, innovative marketing.
The new challenge for VW’s numerous agencies around the world is re-introducing a Beetle with a new, “aggressive” look. As we can see in the above spot, the 2012 Beetle comes with a spoiler and a leather racing-style interior, an attempt at making it more appealing to testosterone-riddled men who wince whenever they see a bright yellow Beetle with a vanity plate that reads “MI BUG” in the next lane over. For Omincom-owned Red Urban Canada, this meant marrying new technology with high-flying stunts in a campaign called “Juiced Up.”

As Nirvana's seminal album Nevermind celebrates its 20th anniversary with a digitally re-mastered re-release, Universal Music approached Aurasma with an innovative idea to transform worldwide campaign for the launch of the album.
Wherever in the world the new album cover or posters advertising its release appear, Aurasma unlocks a trailer featuring a medley of Nirvana's greatest hits that feature on the album including Smells like Teen Spirit, In Bloom and Lithium '.
Touching the screen then opens up a splash page with further information on the album's re-release, as well as the chance to download it from the iTunes Store or order it from a variety of outlets including Amazon, hmv.com, play.com and the Universal Store.
Media agency Brave was looking for a unique way to bring its client Panasonic's Summer 2011 campaign for the new Lumix G3 camera to life, while at the same time as driving online sales.

AFFEXITY - an interdisciplinary pilot choreographic project examining affect, dance on screen and cities. A project of embedded choreographies, in the city of Malmö Sweden, accessed by Argon Augmented Reality Platform, via iPads and iPhones.
Affexity is a play on both 'affect city' and 'a-fixity.'
Affexity is a choreographic exploration with Augmented Reality on mobile devices with 2 intended outcomes: a pilot choreography embedded in urban spaces using geospatial tagging and the groundwork for an initiative in open source choreographies. The innovation of this project is in concept, composition, modes of audience participation, and technological development
