Hatsune Miku performing The Secret Garden in ARToolkit_MMD with english subtitles.
Because i got fed up with too many video reposts coming from NicoNicoDouga.

Summary
ARToolkit detects a marker shape with a webcam and then uses that marker as the origin point for a 3D model (think facial recognition). MikuMikuDance was then paired up with the opensource toolkit to let you watch mikumikudance characters dance as you control your own camera angles with the marker. 

This combination is known as ARToolkit_MMD.

Templar is a physics-based augmented reality puzzle game, where the player moves artillery pieces (catapults and cannons) around outside a castle by moving physical cards with markers on them. They must control the direction, power and angle of each shot to destroy the knight defending the castle.

The game was created by Luis Cruz (Georgia Tech) in the Qualcomm Augmented Reality Game Studio at Georgia Tech (‪http://www.argamestudio.org‬). This Qualcomm-funded research studio is a collaborative effort between the Augmented Environments Lab at Georgia Tech, and the Interactive Design and Game Development program at Savannah College of Art and Design. The Studio is led by Blair MacIntyre (GT) and Tony Tseng (SCAD).

This game was built for Android phones, using Unity3D and the Qualcomm AR SDK plugin (‪http://ar.qualcomm.com/‬).

Augmented Reality Card Game (Battle Monster) is a project which is part of the requirements for Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at King Mongkut‟s University of Techonology Thonburi. Our Augmented Reality card game was created for playing face to face by using a web camera. The main function of our Augmented Reality project is to put visual 3D models of monsters based on real cards onto a computer screen. The system receives input from a web camera by reading a marker on the card. It then makes the system display a 3D model on the screen.

Shunsuke has been working at the lab for some time and his presentation will summarize the various projects he has been involved in: Virtual Campus project, ACMI magic book, Rekindling Venus, and colAR.

POINTE-CLAIRE, QC, Canada -- Allstar Vending has announced the launch of Dinosaur AR, a series of stickers imprinted with dinosaurs. When held or placed within the field of view of the webcam on a computer or smartphone, the sticker’s dinosaur comes to life on the screen when the user logs onto the allstardino.com website. The resulting computer-generated animation is integrated into the scene being captured by the camera. A sticker held in the hand will spawn a tiny dinosaur on the display, interacting with the purchaser. | SEE DEMO

Are you ready? Do you have your sticker(s)? If so, let's go!

But, before your dinosaur can come to life, be sure to follow these simple steps to guide you to a wonderful experience:

1) My Virtual Universe strongly recommends using FIREFOX web browser
2) Make sure your webcam is connected to the computer and working properly. If not, please refer to your product installation guide or manufacturer's website to troubleshoot and fix any issues)
3) FLASH PLAYER is required. If you can't see the content of this page, download the Flash Plugin at: http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
4) Once FLASH PLAYER is ready, click on the appropriate sticker button image to launch the augmented reality experience!
5) A pop-up window for ADOBE FLASH PLAYER SETTINGS may appear asking if FLASH is allowed to access to the webcam. Click ALLOW
6) Ensure there is ample lighting to illuminate the sticker

The Augmented Reality-powered didactic storytelling solution is shown in the video above starting at minute 1:00; the solution was on exhibition at the 55th Congress for São Paulo Municipalities in April 2011.

Headmounted display (HMD) Augmented Reality (AR) technology is only a few short years away and the Department of Homeland Security is actively exploring methods to help our firefighters leverage information displays to help them stay alive and help others. Tanagram, under a grant provided by the Department of Homeland Security developed a phase zero Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) enhancement that leverages HMD / AR technology to display critical factors all-the-while not obscuring the firefighter's field of view. 

This is a first concept. Much work is being done to refine this interface so that it is even more user friendly, relevant, and safe.
