Following my post from yesterday about augmented reality, what better than to link to experiments made by Seb Lee-Delisle with PV3D and FLARToolkit.

The followng video shows the awesome concept…

A few weeks ago I saw a post on the PaperVision3D list about augmented reality using a 3D instantiated using PaperVision3D. I didn’t know what to expect, but I follow the link to check it out. The post at Sander Wichers blog, shows a nice combination of a 3D cube (made with PV3D) that can be manipulated in the real world. Sander uses a Mammoth media server (in alpha) and an augmented reality library named ARToolKitPlus as a server plug-in.

A couple of days later a saw another experiment using also PV3D and FLARToolkit a Flash implementation of ARToolkit (is in Japanese) made by Sagoosha.

I found some other interesting work on augmented reality by a French company called Total Inmmersion, that specialized on this (commercially). They have presented at the DEMO conference in 2004 and 2007. The following video is from their 2007 presentation

A few days ago, via the Papervision3D blog (again), I found that Sagoosha published even a cooler demo to wish all of us a Happy New Year.
