Gosh, THIS IS NOT FAKE.

Yes, the video is blurrier than the character, and that's exactly a sign of it being real! GOOGLE SEARCH IT AND YOU WILL FIND 10000 RESULTS FOR IT. Stop being a hater.

From my understanding AR stands for Augmented Reality. So what was happening here is the computer takes a live video feed and recognizing the symbol printed on that card you can overlay a 3d object onto the video. I've seen this technique used on the history channel and it is also used in games such as PS3's eye of judgement.

you guys are fucking retarded.

everything else is blurry because you need a special camera in order to see the tiny hologram.

it doesnt just pop up in front of your eyes.

@tinquerbutt It's a free downloadable program called ARToolkit. Google it and it should come up.

My husband has been going on and on about a table he saw at Natural Wonders approximately a decade ago that was holographic where it had an apple on it that looked so real, he freaked-out when he attempted to pick it up. Does anyone out there know anything about this? I would love to buy the table for him.

Nah, it's a piece of paper with a square on it. He uses a program called ARToolkit, where it involves using a webcam/camera. The program scopes out anything that has a square shape on it, and produces the image you see right here via camera. It's a video feed basically.
