Keiichi Matsuda - Augmented City [in 3D]

Update: Yay! Keiichi Matsuda (the author) has been so kind as to upload the official video in high quality with sound and yt3D enabled. Check it out along with his other works, definitely an artist to keep your eye on! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TL80S...

Augmented reality is taken to the next, all-immersive level in Keiichi Matsuda's film, recently presented at London's 3D Film Festival at the Barbican. The architecture graduate and filmmaker has imagined a future world overlaid with digital information, whose built environment can be transformed at the touch of a few buttons. 'The architecture of the contemporary city is no longer simply about the physical space of buildings and landscape,' says Matsuda. 'More and more it is about the synthetic spaces created by digital information that we collect, consume and organise; an immersive interface may become as much part of the world we inhabit as the buildings around us.'

PLEASE upload in yt3d - this will enable 3D viewing by those not possessing glasses.

1:28 The future will be polluted with all sorts of virtual spam ads on streets and public places.

Is there an high quality non-3D version?

I agree. People do not realize how dangerous all this wireless stuff is.

"Small amount radiation" scam presented by doctors, is just that - scam!

I have written a blogpost about the reality-perspectives in this movie. Search and read about the Virtuality Continuum.

Cool stuff but the anaglyph 3D effect was a bit to compromised with bad coloring. Red/blue specs did a better job then Red/cyan (with obvious reduction in color)

Ha ha, I can see it now, "man, 42, run over today, last heard complaining the soda commercial wouldn't downsize or change its opaqueness".
