That's some reallllly clunky animation....

[deadsearolls]

Notice at end it said shot on a cannon and iPad after effects added!!!

How come nobody else in the video is holding an ipad?

[MarshunMartin]

Hey guys, I think I'll submit mugshots of myself so people can use their tablets to know who I am on the street.

[jirkakrtek]

how is it possible that left hand is thin and right hand is fat ?

[hayesg01]

@jirkakrtek its a shared device :)

Move over Tron and Avatar! You're about to be blown away by a 2D Photoshop mask from 1998!

Fake. Not real. It will never work like that. You must have an AI in iPad for that effect. In reality you have to stand still and picture have to stand still for recognition. Add some stupid errors and say some "fuck" and "shit" for we can belive that it's real.

Quite something, and nice presentation. Wonder if RFID tags might be usable as indicators, when there's not a logo or something easily recognized by the camera. So you could just swipe it near there to get the info rather than looking through it all the time.

Also, what about other people's phone locations? Wonder if they could become more "data points" in your AR world.

Sure it's being driven by commerce now, but the info/educational/artistic/soci­al possibilities are great too.

[warlockboyburns]

does it tell you info  about known thieves?

[BruceJAX]

I keep seeing AR as something we get information from. Don't forget, there can be another side to it. Information uploaded...to the nueral net lets say...

Think about how once it becomes widely available what the possabilities are, and it will happen fast (look at rate of advancements on cell phones)

[hayesg01]

@BruceJAX Thanks Bruce - please read the accompanying posts that frame this particular VERY narrow focus on ONE type of AR - and absolutely agree about the impact of LBS and GeoSocial Augmented Reality - in fact that is part three of this series, imagining a world where 'community created AR content' is the norm vs 'brochure ware' AR!

[rcwmovies]

This is great. Thanks. Fast forward 5-10 years from now, and I suspect we'll be able to wear internet eyeglasses that can do this. They'll be called iGlasses.

Fast forward 15-20 years, and perhaps we'll have contact lenses that can do this. They'll be called iContacts.

Nice concept.

Kinda shows how much of a mind-blowing oversight it was to not have a camera on there. Even for home-application theres loads of potential.

Not like it would cost much either. (Nintendos managed to put 3 camera's on their 3DS...low quality, but still...3!).

[hayesg01]

@twdarkflame Totally - tablets are used for AR in many places already (museums, industry etc) but I did this (see link below video for post) primarily to show how a larger screen for general business use can work (and I use my 3G iPad on the streets for many non-camera tasks already anyhow :) - other videos show gaming and film type applications (and include wearing Vuzix AR like glasses - but in this case of course you wouldn't see the 'frame' which I wanted for effect)

[jasonromney]

Nice work Gary. Well done.

[adrianroam95]

it'd never go into pratical use. who the hell would wanna hold an ipad like that in public? that's what i was thinking.

[Bettinatizzy]

@adrianroam95 I would.
