BMW Augmented Reality (BMW) 2009 head-mounted display, fake, concept, fake, concept, animation, single-user, 360 large field of view, linear interactive narrative, car specific, concept video, car, research
Research in the field of augmented reality is paving the way for a number of new applications in BMW Service. BMW Augmented Reality techniques provide ideal support in maintenance work on complex technical innovations in the vehicle. Using special data goggles and wireless access to a powerful computer, BMW mechanics have all the information at their disposal, precisely where they need it: in the workshop, at the vehicle.
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.
The Haunted Book Camille Scherrer (EPFL CVLab) 2009 desktop, graphic image recognition, graphic images, animation, multi/single user, small field of view, reactive to object position, linear narrative, user can turn the page and start animation, in front of any computer with webcam, poetry, book, student work, markerless
Diploma project by an ECAL Media & Interaction Design student with the EPFL CVLab. An artwork that relies on recent Computer Vision and Augmented Reality techniques to animate the illustrations of a poetry book. Because we don't need markers, we can achieve seamless integration of real and virtual elements to create the desired atmosphere. The visualization is done on a computer screen to avoid cumbersome Head-Mounted Displays. The camera is hidden into a desk lamp for easing even more the spectator immersion.
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.
U-Raging Standstill CREW 2007 head-mounted display and headphones, camera, performers, pre recorded and live videofeed and sound, videofeed and sound, single-user, 360 large field of view, linear narrative chosen by the performers, could be set up anywhere, long setup, theatre, choreography, video, performance
The visitor of'U'becomes the protagonist in his own story. A story where he partly loses himself and eventually finds himself almost physically.
