Have you ever heard of the fascinating new technology called Augmented Reality? It allows you to add virtual 3D-content to your real environment - even more - to interact with this 3D-content in your personal space. My video shows an example where we superimposed 3d-content on a classical encyclopedia (a kind of a magic book) Augmented Reality will change to way we use information in the future. You can meet your friends while walking through the street, your virtual buddy walking next to you. You can shop online and try out your favorite products (e.g. furnitures) in your living room before buying them. Generally speaking Augmented Reality brings to together two worlds: The real world and the virtual world. This will allow to combine every kind of user related content with the personal world of the user. Please feel free to comment on the video or ask questions on the technology behind. UPDATE: 1 year later - thank you very much for all your inspiring feedback and comments. Today this technology is already in use for books and interactive advertisement tools. There is also a live-demo available. For trials please go to www.metaio.com or send us an email to info@metaio.com

you guys are dumb. its real augmented reality. Meaning those 3d images are layed over top of those marker squares on the computer screen, so you dont see them in life, but on the live video feed only. Look up augmented reality before you guys start bashing things you dont know about.

how can you think this is real? you can clearly see the "pictures" are added after he turns the page in 0.61 split second

the only problem i think with this is that what will we be actully doing(in the real world) how are we gonna be kept in good health, proper diet etc etc... and are we all gonna sit in a chair and put on vr goggles? or are we gonna be kept inside a tank filled with water like those sci fi movie? can anyone answer my question?

I just hope they create it completely before I die. D;

Microcomputing + flat OLED + AR = realistic graphics + Wearable + cool + HUD + interactive environment. We may be entering the virtual world faster than we think. This will undermine our perception of the real world, i'm both excited and worried about it.

I can see a newspaper like the one in the harry potter movies. Whereas the pictures are animated. I look forward to this technology :)
