---What is MMD LIVE?---
"MMD LIVE" is a homemade project that attempts to recreate the feel of a live Hatsune Miku concert on a small scale. Using holographic-illusion technology, MMD models appear to move in 3D space on a miniature stage without the need for a projector. All images are photographed live and are in no way composited or "green-screened" into the video. This is NOT Augmented Reality. My goal is to make a complete "concert" by posting various songs with Vocaloid characters performing them on this stage.
Have you ever thought that a simple luggage in Malpensa could turn into one of the most perfect machine in the world? This is augmented reality, a step forward in the future. Like Pirelli.

KDDI invests JPY 100 mln in Total Immersion - reportJapanese mobile operator KDDI has invested roughly JPY 100 million to take an equity stake in the French software provider Total Immersion, reports Nikkei. The details have not been made public about the French firm's third-party allotment of shares to raise capital, but it appears that KDDI has acquired an interest of at most 15 percent in Total Immersion. In making the investment, KDDI is laying the groundwork for providing augmented-reality services to smartphone subscribers using its au wireless service. Total Immersion has image-recognition technologies for identifying the features of landscapes and objects captured with camera phones and then delivering content that superimposes what was captured on screen with related text and video. KDDI plans to utilise these augmented-reality technologies for content delivery services starting in December. The company will market the services as sales-promotion tools to businesses but also anticipates applications in education, tourism and entertainment.

２D画像の商品表示から、3DのAR表示に変えただけで売り上げが伸びたという話！
Research has found that consumers are more likely to buy a product after engaging with an augmented reality experience, and would be happier to pay more for it.
The research, by marketing communications consultancy Hidden, aimed to find the effectiveness of augmented reality versus traditional sales and marketing collateral in its study “Sales technology: selling with augmented reality”.
100 parents were shown a marketing communications and a display advert for a child’s toy, while another 100 parents were shown the child’s toy as an interactive augmented reality experience. Each person was then asked if they would consider buying this toy for a child and how much they would consider paying for the toy.
It was discovered that of those who saw the 2D printed advert, 45% said they would consider buying the toy for a child, with estimates of the price leading to an average of £5.99.
f those who saw the augmented reality experience, 74% said they would consider buying it for a child, with the average estimated price being £7.99.
(via YouTube)How many times have you encountered a problem when there was no way that you want to find clothes? Vilnius Technology and Design students of the college, Lucas Lukosevicius and Donatas Veiverys his thesis has developed an interactive clothing concept for measuring the cab. It is based on augmented reality (aumented Reality) technology, can try on clothes in lightning speed, and in the future - even leaving your home.
This would allow not only faster and more accurately select the clothes, but would facilitate people with disabilities and clothing searches. Even the man sitting in a wheelchair will be able to try hundreds of different clothes, which otherwise would be to see a very difficult time.

This video shows the setup of the Leaf++ augmented reality performance. This is the second component of the Leaf++ project, a collaborative environment which uses computer vision and augmented reality to recognize and identify leaves, allowing to use them to share information and media (which can be added to them using a mobile application) and to use them in performative environments. This video shows the second component. Here, leaves can be used on a lightbox to be recognized by a webcam and computer vision algorithm using the leaf descriptors created using the mobile application. When leaves are recognized, their contours are used in a sond synthesizer algorithm and can be played live.

(via YouTube)We developed an augmented reality app to coincide with the launch of DRIVER : San Francisco and increase footfall to GAME for pre-awareness and purchase. Tying in traditional print media [for the instructions and marker] as well as digital was a unique and exciting proposition for both Ubisoft and GAME. The app was downloaded over 6000 times on the first day, and featured in the top 20.
(via YouTube)By using the app, users will see 4 of the jumping 3D Angry Birds around them, in the live camera picture of their phone -- in the living room, in the office, in the park, etc -- anywhere they are at the moment. The Birds can be touched, so they jump close to the screen and a photo can be made with them to share. And the second yellow bird does something different...
