Total Immersion's Augmented Reality

http://www.demo.com/demo/demonstrato...ideo/total.asx <- Watch

http://sonix.sdv.fr:8080/ramgen/arte...3/immersion.rm <- Watch if wanna see some more.

Wow

Imagine if this is what the revolution will have. Even if it doesn't this is extremely prodigious. I want to have a little 3D pikachu running around my room...would be so much fun to torment my dog...

Holy crap...I keep editting this topic as I watch more of the video...I'm dumbfounded.

Ok higly doubt would be used in next gen's consoles. But imagine the future. Huge stadiums for pokemon battles with fully 3D realistic life sized pokemon at your command. Or something like Megaman EXE or Angelic Layer or Yu-Gi-Oh.

Ok, so they're not holograms or real virtual reality. Would need goggles or another screen to see the 3D objects and real world meshed together but cool nonetheless.

WOW, for being 2005, this is just an awesome first step to the "next gen" of VR. If Revolution has anything like this and is affordable, it could be a serious contender next gen.

But I can't wait for this stuff to become affordable where most people can have it because this is gonna ultimately taking gaming to "the next level"

Very impressive...most of the way through that video I was under the impression you'd just see that stuff on the screen...meaning see yourself on screen, along with the room and real and fake things, all ON SCREEN...which would be pretty impressive in itself for 3D things on screen to be able to interact with real objects in the room...but then I realised its so much more than that...

Those things are actually THERE...not on a screen, but there in front of your face. I wonder how many projectors that took to do that?

I got the impression that it was only on the screen.

No, I think Jason is right. They are actually there.

Teuthida · 02-03-2005, 12:31 AM

Yeah, they're only on the screen as can be seen in the 2nd video. They seem to actually be there in the first because the film you're watching combined the real world and 3D objects. So instead of watching a camera recording a screen as in the first you're cutting out the middleman.

Jonbo298 · 02-03-2005, 12:32 AM

Yet surprisngly its not.

DimHalo · 02-03-2005, 12:32 AM

It seems to me that it is all right there in front of you. Although I don't entirely understand it, it is very cool looking.

Crash · 02-03-2005, 12:36 AM

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, that is the coolest thing I have ever seen!!!!!

But I think it is only on screen...

maybe this could be part of revolutions technology.

remember that fixed point of view patent they made?

Typhoid · 02-03-2005, 12:37 AM

It could be better.

I say that despite the fact its effing amazing.

There are the obvious VR glitches, like the layering. With the rose its in front of his left hand a couple of times. They need to fix that, and I'm sure thats up on the list.

It could be alot better. Honestly, it could. At some points it looks like pure crap. Again, I say pure crap despite the rest of the awesomeness.

IGN interviewed Toyota Ken with Nintendo on Feb. 3rd, he basically confirms that Nintendo revolution will be a different way of playing games than we are used to. Also said they don't know if it will playable at E3 this year, may just show what they are planning to do.

Nintendo is taking baby steps. Developers tell me that meaty details on the console will be handed out at the upcoming Game Developers' Conference in March. Revolution development kits may be seeded at the same time, according to sources. But in an industry where perception is so important, Nintendo is much more likely to gain support when it publicly unveils the console at E3 this May.

cool, big announcements next month!
