The archeology of Augmented Reality

I thought you might like to see the ancestor of the famous Augmented Reality Demo 2004 demo. It still made enough ooohs and aaahs to be included - with a different setting - in a TV report in early 2003...

How is this working without a marker? And how can it recognize that it is in front of or behind the cups? This seems to be better than some of the other augmented reality demos I've seen. That's strange seeing as this is the ancestor.

At that time you could not move the cups.
