Augmented reality

It’s called augmented reality and this new technology allows you to overlay a virtual, computer-generated reality over the real-life reality perceived by the user.

We like innovation, especially when utilized well, such as BMW in this video, for a promotion of their new Mini Cabrio.

Well we couldn’t resist and started experimenting, developing a remake of the classic video game Breakout (the nostalgics among us will appreciate this!).

So give it a try. Follow the instructions below and happy gaming!

Instructions (webcam and Flash Player 9 required)

  1. Download and print this PDF file.
  2. Connect your webcam to your computer.
  3. When Flash asks for authorization to use your webcam click “Consent”.
  4. Position the printed sheet from Step 01 in front of your webcam and click on the video
  5. Use your keyboard’s directional arrow keys to control the paddle’s movement.
    (Note. If the paddle does not move try clicking on the video with your mouse)

    [...] che dopo il nostro esperimento con la realtà aumentata ci saremmo adagiati sugli allori? Assolutamente no! Abbiamo tante idee ...
