Meaning you can have that running on your browser. Tei: it just finds certain patterns (the symbol printed on the paper) and then projects the model in the position.

Except all the holo tech in the novel uses GPS extensively instead of little paper place-holder markers. Really reminds me of the new-ish Gibson novel, Spook Country.

Note to self: read something about aritificial vision, buy a webcam.

After all, how often do you look at a surface and just think, <i>Imagine a little guy running past</i>. It'd be like the Micro Machines games Other than the guy not casting a shadow, that’s a really amazing thing.

It won first place at the competition and was really freaking cool. This kind of augmented reality is very easy to do as long as you have a black+white printer and a webcam, so I'm really hoping this kind of thing catches on.

It worked, but I think it kinda defeated the purpose of AR... I don’t have a webcam, so I opened the image up in GIMP and used screencap to do it.

Tabletop wargames, where you can see your pieces move and battle. Card games, boardgames, and so on. And the books/comics too, yes. Coupling it with some sort of goggles/headset would be awesome.

Imagine so a book could be able to spawn graphics and schemes in 3D. It will make books much more interesting. Another interesting use for this tech could be education.
