BTW, I don't think this qualifies as art or an optical illusion.]]>Oct 25th 2006 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/Oct 25th 2006 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/http://cvlab.epfl.ch/software/bazar/index.html]]>Oct 29th 2006 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/Oct 25th 2006 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/Oct 25th 2006 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/Oct 25th 2006 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/
I checked out the link but am pressed for time to dig any deeper..]]>Oct 25th 2006 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/
Why, you ask?

"What I thought I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes..."]]>Oct 25th 2006 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/Possible uses:
- sony itoy/chat: chatters don different glasses to assume different personalities, genders etc. Games could be built around this.
- clothes stores: shopper holds card to view different clothes/colours etc. without having to go through the effort of changing into them (or am I missing the point of shopping?).
- hairdresser: as above
- photo booths / tourism: easily change the monument you want to be photographed with.
- vanity photos: be photographed with a famous figure, in a pose of your choosing (with different clothing options).
- advertising: stick these on your posters so consumers can get larger images of objects using their camera phones (or discover hidden items).]]>Oct 26th 2006 1:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/
It's called Augmented Reality, and there are boat loads of research and commercial products out there that do it already.

ARToolkit, MXR Toolkit, ARToolkitPlus (for cellphones), ARTag, etc.
Some of these have been aroud for 10 years.

The markers shown in the link look like ARToolkit3 markers to me.]]>Oct 26th 2006 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/http://www.hitl.washington.edu/artoolkit/ . It's a total ripoff by NTT, I bet they even used ARToolkit.]]>Oct 26th 2006 3:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/25/ntt-at-shows-off-amaze-art/
