It’s been a long time since I’ve updated this blog due to the busy working life over the month. We’ve been flooded by projects coming in at TVG, which is definitely a good news at current economy. Over the month, I’ve worked and launched Fast & Furious, Watchmen Motion Comic, and Watchmen Black Freighter websites. I also had the opportunity to go to the Fast & Furious World Premiere which was a blast.

Currently, I’m working on implementing special effects into X-Men Origins: Wolverine’s website, and we’ve just confirmed an Augmented Reality project which I’ll be working on and looking forward to bring it up as a buzz in the web when we launch it, I’ll only have around 2 weeks to work on this. I’ll be updating again soon with the few projects that I worked on to give an insight of how things were being built. So look forward to see this blog updating often again ;)

So before Virtual Reality(VR) even reaches its full potential, Augmented Reality(AR) has stepped into play and it’s definitely going to be the next big thing….until it dies down that is. So good news for flash users is that we finally got it in Flash now, all you need is FLARToolkit and some papervision3d knowledge and you’re on your way to some cool Augmented Reality.

Above is a simple test that I just built and recorded to show the capability and the camera detection, it’s looking pretty good and I’m ready to explore more with it.

If you’ve never heard about AR before, it’s time to dig in, GE has recently launched a site with it implemented in, I believe it’s the first Flash site with it, correct me if I’m wrong. If you have a camera and a printer, you should try it! Print the marker, activate your camera, and get ready for some coolness.

Here’s another great video by Japanese coder Saqoosha. If watching it’s not enough for you, dive in with some real action. This is really awesome.

I’m really excited with all the possibilities this can bring us too, let me know if you have any experiments with it, I would like to see more Flash Augmented Reality experiments.
