Physics and Augmented Reality - Part 2

[AustralianNetNews]

Nice Warhammer scenary and augmented reality! :D

[oliver18754]

Please where can I download this?

[EmmanuelMFr]

@SpelKille you can see at one moment that the camera is a robotic camera, so it knows also its position and orientation with respect to the table, it's not a mobile device demo : it's 5/6 years old !

[oliver18754]

what's the website you have to go to try this? Please tell me. Thanks.

[EmmanuelMFr]

@oliver18754 It's not on a website anywhere for the moment, it was an internal demo.

[MarquesZero]

Amazing!

[HomeDjPinky]

Download needed!

[onlinesniper]

easily, if the game is in ar then couldnt the gamer stand in a translucent ball mounted on something to enable walking motion or running motion then at mission/level change the ar simply spawns the new level data around the gamer via ar googles? any comments regaring if this would be a worth while project leave a thumbs up

[clnmyjts]

holagram gaming was introduced in 1973. I watched holagram figures fighting it out on a video holagram desk top at our neighborhood video arcade 35 fricking years ago.

Come on get real why did they pull the technologies for holographic gaming 35 years? ago ( it was the new big thing )Why are they pretending it something new.

I remember standing in line for 2 hours waiting to play my turn and had to leave.

A few weeks later when I got back to try playing it again it was gone..weird..huh

[onemoaranon]

Source please? Because you didn't. A hologram is a 3d image of light being projected in front of you, in order for them to work you have to be able to shape and stop light, we cant do that.

Stop making shit up.

[The80sKickAss]

You, obviously don't know what a Hologram is. Holography has been around since the late 1940's. Haven't you ever seen one of those hologram stickers the change as you turn them?

[Lemau]

I'm afraid both of you are mistaking Virtual Reality for holograms, quite possibly due to the "holodecks" on Star Trek. A hologram is nothing more than a 3D-image, as 80's says, they can be printed on cards, or created on computers, but have nothing to do with interaction. VR may or may not use holograms for interaction, and even then does not have to be interactive. It just has to be real. AR is the next stage of VR and clearly IS interactive. FTR, the car is not a hologram.

[Metalrasputian]

I find this really hard to believe, but I'm no nay-sayer. I'd love to see this realized into the market. It's just too complicated for my simple mind haha. But like everyone has stated, this could be implemented in some video games, which would be cool to see, imagine something like mario-kart on your living room instead of in it haha.

[lalalandd123]

wer can i find these demos??

[Nytz12]

imagine watching porn on such a thing

[Macosxmikey]

Zomg, you sir, are a visionary. :P

[moomoomeal]

this is the future of video games right here, you still paly it on a screen, but can interact with the invironment with real items and what not

[KuroTempest]

you dont need a screen you jsut have to get those goggles that theyve been showing all over the place that let you see your environment thru the cam mounted on your face. its really cool check it out

[xxgattox]

... How could a story with objectives develop in totally different areas like my house or your house? Btw, it would be really hard to make a FPS because you would need a HUGE area and that would just cost too much.

[frangossauro]

err.... is there a framework that i can use to this CV techniques? It's just insanely more advanced and cooler then ARToolkit and OpenCV general Tracking (6DOF :O)

[ax41113]

Man I wish that gizmondo thing didn't crash and burn. They'd have this Augmented reality stuff in videogames but not just videogames portable videogames.

[rakshakkalwani]

what gizmondo thing buddy??

[akumie]

he means the gizmondo hand heald system..it had a small feature with augmented reality where you could attack a castle

[21stonesoverturned]

I know that the dimensions of the castle have already been previously recorded before this video, but is it possible, that in the future, computers will be able to calculate dimensions without the help of humans?? Say, maybe one day do you think that I will be able to go outside with an AR device and look at some random tree and see virtual squirrels running around it??

[jaicket]

I'm sure this would be possible even today, however the technology required to do it - probably a combination of infra red and sonar detection - would be very expensive for a solution which was accurate enough to be practical and far too bulky to carry around.

[gotilk]

Community data and Databases (look.. google just mapped your toilet!!! and your mom!!) coupled with radio markers. No need for infrared and sonar doohickeys. But I agree, already do-able.

[SeeNFeel]

how that stuff work??

damn.. that's cool man...!!

[totallynothere]

holy crap.. JESUS MAKE THIS TECHNOLOGY FASTER LOL

I CANT WAIT XD

[smelypenny]

you can only see this on the screen tho right? ... imagine if you cud 'project' this back onto the table sum how... or put this in sum sort of eye wear so that you cud basically play counterstrike 1.6 in yur local wallmart XD .. I Can't wait =P !!!!

[stuffisgd]

porn plays a huge part in pushing new tech.

Virtual lapdance anyone?

[EmmanuelMFr]

Or imagine enlargement of, well, you know what I mean. But actually no, no virtual porn for us, we're French you know, no frustration here :-)

[onforty]

it would be cool if things could crack deform and get ripped apart

[psychobunny1995]

WHERE DO I BUY IT =P

[omnidevil]

30 years from now and the Doctor from the Star Trek series will be asking you if you need an analgesic cream, or a hypospray.

Think about it.

(also, change doctor image to delicious looking nurse with surgery knowledge for 100% win)

[haistapaska20]

Now you can have hallunications and you're tought as cool

[damianpoirier]

it'll change the implimentation of gaming, surgery, autorepair... and dare i say marketing?

[auronx223]

earthquake!!!!!

[vbendeguz]

?w..wha...what?

[phreakyeggz]

What do you need to learn to get into this career? 3D Arts? Programming?

[EmmanuelMFr]

I'd say applied maths for computer vision.

[ozgenc]

whats going on damn!

[chimychimychonga]

great physics on the car. you had to survey the geometry, no?

[EmmanuelMFr]

Let's say that luckily it turned out very well with not so much work.

[laurrrren]

that's pretty cool

[Raneman25]

if only we could d this holographically in real time

[Nekaros]

its animaded

[Knucklebucket]

No, it isn't. It is called augmented reality, And it determines the pinpointed location, size, and shape of real mass (the castle), and transforms it into a computer model, then lets it interact with other computer models (the car) using real physics. It then determines again the location of the mass, and overlays it with real video, all, in real time.

[EmmanuelMFr]

In this video, the shape and size of the castle is known beforehand. The location and orientation is then indeed found by the computer at each frame to do all the interactions as you describe.

[thunderxxpussy]

i don't get how it works....

[Stickman550]

that would make a great game. make a car then drive it around your house and stuff LOL

[bully129]

lol. I'd pay loads for this thing.

[lCharles445l]

Me too.

I understand the side effect, and that is excellent luck on the programming part.

[pakakakaka]

luck?

[stone412]

That was some major awesome work you did! Very well choreographed AND programmed! 5 stars at the most!

[threelegduck]

augmented reality seems pretty cool ... strange interacting of the shadows with the real life stuff though

[joe2783818]

RagdollDude i agree man, that would be so cool with black and white

[Bibbly53]

I don't see them turn the landscape which tells me they would have to completely alter the perambulates to accompany the model of which they used for impact to continue to react in the same way.

Lo, I far-fetched my gizzard.

[EmmanuelMFr]

Well, it's only after all these years that I realize this video looks indeed like mere 2D tracking ! Well it wasn't, but you have to check the other videos to realize that.

[ahsayuninew]

That is freaking awesome! imagine a racing game with this technology. Its possible with ps3

[EmmanuelMFr]

Alas the PS3 has not a moving camera yet, which brings really a lot to the experience (imagine the NASCAR with only still cameras to watch it). Moving and encoded cameras may be cheap one day, who knows.

[ECWNET]

yeah, that whole new ps3 camera that uses augmented reality is revolutionary for games, but im kinda disappointed with it

[benzingermany]

Gizmondo had it first.

[EmmanuelMFr]

I think Gizmondo needs markers to track.

[MoQvo]

great clips!!! 12,407 -- this is one of my favorite demo's on here

[hecuter]

wow neat. can you post more info on this? looks like warhammer scenery in the back ;)

[EmmanuelMFr]

check the other videos, they are a kind of ongoing diary of the technology we create week after week.

[datxcod]

Holy Phuck you guys are going to become billionaires. That stuff is amazing, I've seen your videos. Imagine the possibilities with games. All that tracking and mapping, can it work with normal PC cameras or you need a good pro video camera ?

[EmmanuelMFr]

Everything is done with off-the-shelf hardware (PC and camera). On this particular video, the camera is a camera normally used for videoconferencing, whose head can rotate. Since the video is now three years old and was done at the time on a PC anyone could buy, you can guess most of PCs can do the job easily today.

[ahsayuninew]

do you know the future of video games with this technology?

[EmmanuelMFr]

To be frank, for FPS, reaction time may be an issue as long as 100Hz cameras are not cheap enough. In the meantime, there are all the other kind of games.

[RagdollDude]

Can definately imagine it with RTS games especially god games like black and white.

[mmmpie]

dude that is fricking amazing. i'm pretty speachless

[dinnerandashow]

what is the hardware and software you were using?

[cacallpo]

cool!!

[thegsusfreek]

That's pretty sweet.
