Augmented Reality

I always think this field has been overlooked way to long. Augmented reality is a technology in which virtual objects are inserted into reality, most commonly with video footage. This makes for very powerfull video games but for now there has been no game that made any significant impact with augmented reality. Let’s hope there will be one day that Starcraft 4 or Rise of Nations 3 creates an entire battlemap of my desk. In the meanwhile check out this really cool video from Georg Klein and David Murray of the Active Vision Laboratory of the University of Oxford.
