Total Immersion - Demo 2007

Zey sed Demo Ell, but we ended Demo God!
Here is the full award winning performance at Demo 2007. If you wonder what are the technical problems many blogs wrote about, well, let's say that, on the first minutes of the first take, the live audience did not see the good video input on the main projector, for reasons best left unknown :-)

shold have rehearsed some, and also watched recoding of the rehearsals, the acting when the character came out of the shirt was way off, the reactionw as if it was jsut a voice and not somthing emerging from the chest

also, the lines didn't seemed very natural, dunno

but the techinology itself surelly is amazing :)

[Emmanuel Marin]

Well, no professional actor was harmed during the shooting of this video. I meant, was hired.

i don't get you.. you just add animated forms on real objects where is the feat? do you know "attention a la marche" ? zizi potes are some kind of virtual reality :)

[Emmanuel Marin]

When you see these videos, you don't realize the feat that everything is done live. This is not post-production, as in the TV show you talk about. Furthermore, in the TV show, the camera stands still when the avatars appear, to make it easier. Here, the camera moves freely.

how can it be done in public..???

[Emmanuel Marin]

Keynotes, corporate shows, etc., use lots of big screens anyway, so we simply use some of these to show the Augmented Reality to the audience.

[Niko381]

How come every single video about augmented reality is like from 2006-2007...? I kinda want to see if they've made any progress since then.

[deliquenme]

I would like to play GTA like that :P

[J Bowers]

This will lead to people demanding RFID chips and imaging contact lenses, even paying money for the privilege of having them. The future is now. All is one.

@nickyjlyons Think of the future of wars, more like it. An army of 200.000 with 100 real soldiers. Army always abused science throughout history.

[yoroshiku]

Aaawww, look at him and hisEuropean accent. By the way, I really love Augmented reality! I really hope this technology may advance a lot so we can use AR on a daily basis.

[Christopher Welch]

i think microsoft would just buy it, it won't have to compete

[Bluesage2009]

Possibilities are AWESOME...

You can date any old bag now, and just augment her with a supermodel ! LOL

[SEspider]

3D is clearly not their strong suit, nor is acting. lol

But the tech is very impressive. Noticed this was posted in 2007. If you think about, the tech is already here.

i think the PS3 is using it in their Virtual Pet game and the Xbox360 is using if as part of their Natal Camera but in a more advance way.

[MickHenney]

Wow! That is all there is to say to this!

[nabz32x]

lol that technique would be awesome, if it wouldn´t have the needs of some lame pads for recognizing, it is not as hard to scan such pads with normal software, so make a good concept allready...

[Olympeus]

You douche, Arnold is Austrian.

Evil magicks! Burn the man-witch!
