On watching the Gadget Show (Ch5) last night I became quite interested in the idea of Augmented Reality. The idea being you can do some very clever image recognition techniques to bring the virtual world into the real world. Already this concept is very promising for the video games industry, but it has also been used successfully in other ways, including the new smart phone G1, powered by Google Android.
This morning I also saw a brand using a standard PC webcam to create amazing greetings messages.
The leading research team on the technology is a company called Total Immersion, who have some pretty impressive videos on their website.
Certainly a technology to keep an eye on.
