What they did, was trigger animations to show on a headup display whenever the camera recognizes a page from the book. Its not a hardware development, just augmented reality but specifically for childrens books. Fun, I guess, but I think its healthier for your child's imagination if they had to work with words.
Did anybody notice it's APRIL FOOLS day tomorrow?!
Search Youtube for "blender voodoo" or "camera tracking" and you see how simple it is to make this movie.
This is totally FAKE, no way a computer can measure and adapt the 3D image so quickly and precisely to the movement of the book in relation to the goggles.
@gerardvd lol this is real tech & it is KOREAN. this was released in korea this year & this is based on a korean folk tale called hong gil dong. i just saw a review on this on a korean tv show. well thank u for thinking this is nearly impossible tech, but Koreans did it. we will take it as a compliment.
Reading some responses below about compact hardware it seems you do no understand the technology... What you see is NOT a projection or holograph or something... The 3D elements exist only on the computerscreen and can be made visible by holding the book in front of a (web)cam. So to read this book including the 3D animation you have to install some software and use a cam to see the augmented reality-part of the book. Without webcam and software it'll be an ordinary paper book like every other.
@ikwashierechtwaar I agree that the technology exists. HOWEVER, it's hardly 3-D just because it uses CGI. On a FLAT screen, it's 2-D, period. The video is deceptive (by its very nature AS a video). It makes it look like you'll be able to hold the book IN YOUR HANDS and have the imagery pop up off the pages, like a projection or hologram, which is nowhere NEAR the reality. As you note, you have to hold the bloody book up to a web cam, THEN watch your monitor. Seems rather cumbersome, really.
@all, why the disbelief... Augmented reality is real! This is totally possible and is already available in both Europe and USA... Only thing is, not many companies are investing yet in the combo of 3D animation and paper. But it will come really soon. It has already been done on a smaller scale by e.g. IKEA Sweden and with baseball cards in the USA.
Yep. This is real! The experience is not enhanced in any way nor is it CGI. this is the real deal. And if I am not mistaken it is not Korean technology, it is either Japanese or Chinese. Kudos to the developersand technicians. Anything to get this new generation to read. And when they are not reading, can you imagine the possibilities? Interactive web pages with this technology, spreadsheets, graphs, science projects, and can you imagine gaming?!
I'm highly suspicious of this. I know the Koreans are technology gurus—even though they get caught in lies on occasion, such as the cloning scandal—but this is highly improbable and would require far too big an advancement in technology to work this well right now. Besides, the video itself is obviously enhanced with CGI to replicate the experience. This is not the experience itself. In theory, the concept would have many great uses, but for now, I'm skeptical.
@Coolestmovies for a second there I would have argued but after looking at it a bit, you're right it does look a little too advanced for what is currently possible.
@xXull Saw your earlier comment as well (which you've deleted), and I agree that a similar technology is in existence. I believe I've seen a couple of DVDs or Blu-Rays that came with a "bonus" feature where if you held the packaging up to a web-cam, you'd see a "3-D rendering" of a character or whatever. The problem with this is that you're still looking at a FLAT screen, so it's no different than watching a regular computer animated movie on your screen. Without eyewear, it isn't TRUE 3-D.
@xXull Others have commented here that the technology DOES really exist, and I now agree. HOWEVER, I simply cannot call this 3-D. This video is deceptive (by its very nature AS a video). It makes it look like you'll be able to hold the book IN YOUR HANDS and have the imagery pop up off the pages, like a projection or hologram, which is nowhere NEAR the reality. As noted in the comments, you have to hold the bloody book up to a web cam, THEN watch your monitor. Seems rather cumbersome, really.
I believe that this is a hoax. I'm extremely skeptical that the hardware and software necessary to pull this off exists now in a sufficiently compact form..
WOW!

Because people didn't believe trains where real either when no one knew about them.
And because Youtube is the equivalent for Hoax Video.
But this is quite possible. And it's not even that hard to do either, and rather cheap, so people will be seeing this a lot, just like the train.

My mistake. It is Korean technology. All I can say now. Can't wait until it makes its way to the US.

@100Gigahertz me thinks its Korean. The outfits displayed on the book are korean-based and I can see Hangul writings on the left pages ; )
