Hainich, Hainich&Partner, Berlin We first have a look at the development of AR in the recent 15 years and its current state. Given recent advances in computing and micro system technologies, it is hardly conceivable why AR technology should not finally be entering into mass market applications, the only way to amortize the development of such a complex technology. Nevertheless, achieving a 'critical mass' of working detail s… text/html 2008-09-03T02:09:00+09:30 http://ismar08.org/wiki/doku.php?id=keynote_3&rev=1220373540 Physical gaming: Out of the lap and into the living room Speaker: Diarmid Campbell, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Diarmid Campbell talks about camera based games such as those using the EyeToy and, more recently, the PlayStation Eye camera. He looks at the many different techniques that can applied to analysing video images and how to use them as a game input mechanism. For each technique, he explains how it works, ways in which it can be used and, more importantly, where it can fail.
