ARhrrrr is an augmented reality shooter for mobile camera-phones. The phone provides a window into a 3d town overrun with zombies. Point the camera at our special game map to mix virtual and real world content. Civilians are trapped in the town, and must escape before the zombies eat them! From your vantage point in a helicopter overhead, you must shoot the zombies to clear the path for the civilians to get out. You can use Skittles as tangible inputs to the game, placing one on the board and shooting it to trigger an explosion.
Art of Defense Augmented Environments Lab (Georgia Institute of Technology) 2009 Smartphone, shape recognition, tilt sensor, graphic playing board, generative animation, multi-user, 360 small field of view, reactive to hand position, interactive linear narrative, on any suface, game, novel, phone
Art of Defense (AoD) is a novel AR game for a commodity phone (the Nokia N95). The goal of Art Of Defense is to explore game design and interaction techniques that are well suited to mobile AR on a small screen device. One principle guiding AoD is to uses the phones limitations as part of the game itself; in this case, designing assuming the player has a limited view of a larger game space.
Audio Space Theo Watson 2005 headphones, microphone, voice sound, deformed sound, single-user, reactive to head position, filles the whole room, unconscious choice of narrative by movement, anywhere indoors, environment, sound, sonic
Audio Space is a 3D augmented aural space. A user wearing a headset can leave messages at any point within the room and hear all the sounds left by everyone before them spatialised as if the people were really still there. It has been exhibited at ICHIM 05 in Paris, the 2006 Eyebeam Summer Exhibition in New York, Netherlands Institute for Media Art Amsterdam 2007 and TAG The Hague 2008. Later version transform the voice into sonic structures that create a rich and layered sonic environment.
Augmented Sculpture Series Pablo Valbuena 2007 spacial Projection, videomapping, sculpture, animation, sound, multi-user, 180 large field of view, natural eye movement, linear narrative, space-specific for sculpture, ars electronica, projection mapping
This project is focused on the temporary quality of space, investigating space-time not only as a three dimensional environment, but as space in transformation. For this purpose two layers are produced that explore different aspects of the space-time reality. On the one hand the physical layer, which controls the real space and shapes the volumetric base that serves as support for the next level. The second level is a virtual projected layer that allows controlling the transformation and sequentiality of space-time. These ideas come to life in an abstract and geometric envelope, enhanced with synesthetic audio elements and establishing a dialogue with the observer.
Augmented Trashcan Eric Paulos, Tom Jenkins 2005 spacial projection, fotographs, street, animated images of trash, multi user, small field of view, no perspective control, non-linear narrative, could be placed on any trashcan, trash, environment
a visualization projection of trashcan contents. the device senses trash events, logs the time, measures the weight & displays the contents in a dynamic, weight-dependent representation. pedestrians participate & become aware of a city's everyday physicality.
Domestic Robocop Keiichi Matsuda 2010 output free video, video edit, kitchen, mixed-media video, multi-user, to watch on a screen, linear narrative, watchable anywhere, concept video, research, science-fiction
The latter half of the 20th century saw the built environment merged with media space, and architecture taking on new roles related to branding, image and consumerism. Augmented reality may recontextualise the functions of consumerism and architecture, and change in the way in which we operate within it. A film produced for my final year Masters in Architecture, part of a larger project about the social and architectural consequences of new media and augmented reality.
Exercise in Immersion 4 Marnix de Nijs (V2_) 2007 head-mounted display, sensors, microphone, video, sound, video, generative abstract animation, sound, single-user, 360 choice of perspective, large field of view, reactive to head position, game with unknown goal, unconscious choices about narrative, indoors, anywhere, long setup, game, art-game, Deaf 07, crash suit
The headset is equipped with a sensor system that can couple the exact position of the user in reality with previously designed imagery. On the display built into the headset, a combination between the real world and the virtual-constructed world becomes visible.The virtual world corresponds with the existing environment through a number of clearly marked reference points, such as walls, pillars and doors. Without movement, the player remains in reality and there is no possibility to take part in the game. Movement and game progression results in the manipulation of the existing space that in the long run will transform into a virtual environment. In the most extreme case, the representation of the existing space will be completely replaced with a new and unknown world.
Eye pet Nicolas Doucet (playstation) 2009 tv screen, motion detection, user, generative animation, multi-user, flat small field of view, non-linear interactive narrative, any tv with playstation, playstation3, game, kids
The game uses the PlayStation Eye camera to allow a virtual pet to interact with people and objects in the real world. Using augmented reality, the simian, gremlin-like creature appears to be aware of its environment and surroundings and reacts to them accordingly. The player can place objects in front of the animal and the game will interpret what the object is and respond to it.[
Livingroom2 Jan Torpus, Roderick Galantay, Bennet Uk (Swiss National Science Foundation, plug.in, iart) 2007 headmounted display, tracking sensors, videofeed, animation, single-user, 360 large field of view, reactive to head position, interactive non-linear narrative, anywhere indoors, long setup, science-fiction, design, decoration
The room is approached as an illusionary space, a simulation of a possible future experience of daily life instead of a tool for content development. In ‘living-room2’ the space itself becomes the object of transformation. In the virtual layer, the room can be visually transformed, reconstructed, extended, etc. Thus, the user becomes part of an immersive environment. By giving the visitor the possibility to “change the space”, living-room2 offers new opportunities for applications in the fields of Architecture, Scenography, Tourism, Museology and Education.
MagicBook Mark Billinghurst , Raphael Grasset , Julian Looser , Hartmut Seichter , Andreas Duenser (HITlabNZ) 2008 handheld glaces, shape recognition, marker, animation, multi-user, 360 large field of view, reactive to hand, marker position, linear narrative, on any surface, books, collaboration
The MagicBook explores seamless transition between reality and virtual reality. When users look at the pages of a real book through a hand held display they can see virtual content superimposed over the real pages. When they see an Augmented Reality (AR) scene they like, the user can fly into the scene and experience it as an immersive virutal environment. In addition the book serves as a focus for collaboration. When several users look at the same book page they can see the AR image from their own viewpoint and when one flys into the virtual model, the other users see her as a virtual character in the scene.
Out of the Blue Marina de Haas, Wim van Eck and Alwin de Rooij (AR+RFID LAB) 2007 headmounted, graphic image recognition, marker logo's, animation, sound, single-user, 360 choice of perspective, large field of view, reactive to head position, looped linear narrative, anywhere indoors, Today's art, balls
AR+RFID Lab artist in residence Marina de Haas together with Wim van Eck, Jan Willem Brandenburg, Jurjen Caarls and Alwin van Rooij created a unique audio-visual AR environment made of round objects leading back to the basics of all organic shapes on earth. The ellipse shapes come out of the walls and find their way into the exhibition space. When you wear the Augmented Reality headset you are bound to stay in a circle of 1.50 meter from the table, which is set
PTAM (Robotics Research Group, University of Oxford) 2007 desktop, environment tracking and mapping, videofeed, animation or still, single user, 360 small field of view, no narrative, anywhere, ISMAR, research project
Video results for an Augmented Reality tracking system. A computer tracks a camera and works out a map of the environment in realtime, and this can be used to overlay virtual graphics. Presented at the ISMAR 2007 conference.
Songdo Yannick Jacquet, Joanie, Lemercier, Olivier Ratsi (AntiVJ) 2009 Spacial Projection, video mapping, architecture, animation, sound, multi-user, 180 large field of view, linear narrative, space-specific, Songdo City, modern architecture
The importance of technology, the coexistence of the ancient and the new and the presence of the sea as both a calming and menacing elements seem to be the fundamental ideas to the creation and development of this model-city. The city of Songdo is a challenge to human’s ability to plan a large scale construction work and, most of all, it will reflect on how urban society can be organized for people to interconnect, network and live with each other in such controlled and optimized environment. AntiVJ’s will present a visual+sonic piece exploring these ideas.
The Hague City Hall Pablo Valbuena 2008 spacial Projection, videomapping, City Hall, animation, multi-user, 180 large field of view, natural eye movement, linear narrative, space-specific, today's art, projection mapping, architectural space
In the past Pablo Valbuena has worked for several international videogame and film studios investigating spatial concepts applied to virtual environments and digital architecture as a concept designer. This project focuses on the temporary quality of space, investigating space-time not only as a three dimensional environment, but as space in transformation. By using geometric forms and light, Valbuena alters multiple dimensions of space-time, creating an astounding visual experience.
The Whisper Deck Craig Kapp 2009 headmounted display, marker recognition, marker, generative animation, single-user, 360 large field of view, reacts to head position, non-linear informational narrative defined by user, any suface, Flicker, Google, search, informational, voice
The Whisper Deck is a voice-controlled augmented reality data visualization tool that immerses users within a fluid information ecosystem of their own design. Using an off the shelf Vuzix CamAR head mounted display, users can look around their local environment. A special symbol visible in the environment causes the 3D interface of the Whisper Deck to appear. Users can speak commands to the model to cause it to search the Internet and return relevant information, including spoken definitions from Wikipedia, images from Picasa, Flickr and Google Images, as well as search term comparisions from Google Trends.
TINMITH Wayne Piekarski (University of South Australia) 2006 head-mounted display, gloves, Markers, pinch gloves, videofeed, generative stills, single-user, 360 large field of view, generative non-liear narrative, could be programmed anywhere, Metro, geometry, outdoor
We have written a number of applications which use Tinmith technology in order to perform outdoor augmented reality tasks. The Tinmith-Metro application is our main application, demonstrating the capture and creation of 3D geometry outdoors in real time, leveraging the user's physical presence in the world. Tinmith-Metro is also capable of easily rendering existing 3D models such as VRML, 3DS, and DXF for visualisation purposes. The true power of our software is experienced when using the 3D modelling capability to make changes in the environment, which is the most advanced of its kind available.
