pretty cool…after doing a little research managed to build one for Earth hour at earthhour.org/earthinyourhands Basicaly its what it says you hold the earth in your hands, added a reflection from the video feed, set the suns position depending what time it is. On the dark side you can make out the city lights. Also added google geocoding and take a snapshot which can be saved to the desktop.

Saw this at a Star Wars exhibit a year or so ago. It was a game where you built a spaceport on tatooine using cards that each represented a different building. Relative placement was important, and you could rotate the table to see the spaceport from different angles. It was VERY cool.

This would be awesome for product size/placement visualization. Imagine printing out a product symbol on a sheet of paper and putting it in the corner of your room then with the webcam you see your prospective entertainment center on your wall.

With some good maths based off a standard 8.5×11in sheet of paper the consumer would be able to tell if the unit will be to large.

I just bought a Sieg X3 vertical milling machine and i made a cardboard box with the dimensions for bench placement and holly god was I wrong…

@Wade

Yeah It would be really cool to mixed with a tabletop RPG or something like D&D, where you can print different symbols for different kinds of units (squares, triangles, circles, etc) And see them fight in via the web cam in you Desktop !

Wow this is very impressive I would like to see this implemented into a game where you cast spells and stuff. That could be very cool for a webcam do you guys not think?

Even if they use GPL, they are only required to release the source if they redistribute their program, and even then only to the people they destribute it to. I doubt viewing a flash applet counts…

@squirrel007 and anyone else who tried my suggestion to download the swf and play it locally:
Don’t bother. It doesn’t work, for whatever reason.

So my suggestions for trying this, after a bit of trial and error:

1.) when printing the pdf, make sure you print it actual size (it will be a box about 7cm square, in the middle of the page) By default, Foxit reader wants to print it expanded to page. Don’t let it, it doesn’t work well that large. That’s what she said.

2) it is important that the printed box be against a light background….don’t fold up the page like the guy in the video; leave it. Even better, set it on a light colored desk.

This is pretty neat, it will make for some great games someday. It took a while to finally get it to work on my macbook. To get the camera to work with a mac:
control-click on the flash window, go to “Settings…”, and then select the webcam setting and switch the webcam type as “USB Video Class Video”

hmmmmm. as the marker with “Hiro” on it is definitely the 7+ years old one from the AR Toolkit, could it be that those guys simply used that C to Flash compiler I’ve recently seen demoed somewhere and just hacked ARToolkit a bit? If so, I believe they are obliged to release the source (ARToolkit is GPL).

So has anyone been able to download the .swf and play it on their computer because I cannot seem to get it to work.
