Proof Of Concept: Augmented Reality In Games
Wednesday 18 March 2009 @ 7:02 am | By Sol 6 Comments
In more modified reality goodness, designer Frantz Lasorne has created an impressive proof of concept for his vision on the future of gaming. Using head-mounted glasses, a battle base with context sensitive markers, and some imagination; players can incorporate real world objects, such as RC cars, in the battlescape to achieve immersive game-play.

In the past augmented-reality applications have been plagued by processing power, feasibility for mass deployment and response time in displaying context markers, but new development in the area has begun in breakneck speed. More companies are placing funding in R&D as it is now very popular to have these display markers on products.
Video-game manufacturers, development studios, the military, and even entire companies are banking on the idea augmented reality will be the next step in the evolution of everyday living. My real question is: When I will I have my holodeck?

That is damn impressive!
It’s a little glitchy but the fact progress is being made is just cool.
This actually reminds me of a M$ video I saw about there idea of the future in 2019 (sweet song to)

And so, companies want to pull people further away from reality…
The M$ is really cool, one day. *fingers crosses*
I don’t think they want to take us away from reality, rather they want to improve upon the reality we currently see.
I just don’t know how long it will actually take. AR stuff is really cool, I’ve played with an ARToolkit before, but the programming that going into it something way over my head.
I remember in the days of the Nintendo Revolution, which came to be the Wii, rumors about an AR console were flying around. I miss the days of next-gen, so much drama and investigation.
reminds me of some dennou coil.
epic.
[...] can apparently also use it to kill the undead. The integration of everyday objects may not yet be Frantz Lasorne’s vision of augmented reality but its still inspiring. AR games come a step closer to the mainstream [...]
