Another video that I would rate under the term Augmented Reality concept videos.
In this video
A strange man uses holographic tools to build a world for the woman he loves. This is a short by filmmaker Bruce Branit……
See the following YouTube video or the WebSite of Bruce Branit.

I am fascinated by concept videos based on augmented reality by mixing real and virtual environments.
They are a real good basis to prototype future scenarios for augmented reality applications.
An application for advertising a game in a different way can be found at the announcement of “The Settlers 7″.
See the following video on YouTube or the relevant WebSite of the Game: The Settlers 7.

The AEL is a research lab at Georgia Tech investigating the design and implementation of augmented- and mixed-reality experiences.
A recent project they have done in collaboration with different project partners is ARhrrrr!
ARhrrrr is an augmented reality shooter for mobile camera-phones. The phone provides a window into a 3d town overrun with zombies. When you point the camera at a special game map, you get a mix of virtual and real world content.
While shooters are not really my favourite reference projects for such applications I see a lot of possibilities to augment also games and open an new dimension of games, board games, serious games and edutainment.
It is important to know that it is based on the new NVidia’s Tegra platform.
At the moment, it is all just concept. But we will se the devices soon out there that are capable of running it. But once Tegra actually launches in more devices, we will start seeing some real breakthrough games on mobile devices.

On one of my favorite blogs concerning 3D graphics at Blendernation I just found following very interesting post.
I am happy to see this and I am confident that my research is on the right track. Blender already showed in earlier posts that
it also is a supporting tool to bring Augmented Reality as an emerging technology to the broad masses.
Here’s a *really* nice form of interactive 3D advertising, and it looks like they did the 3D design in Blender.
What appears to be little more than a black and white advertisement in three recent German automotive magazines becomes a 3D holographic model of the Mini Cabrio through a webcam and the Mini website.
The ad works only in IE6 or higher. If you want to try it for yourself, download the PDF of the ad, print it out and head over to the Mini website.

Combined with 10th Immersive Projection Technology Workshop this symposium seems to be a good location as
…..a forum for the exchange of experience and knowledge among researchers, developers and users concerned with virtual reality, as well as augmented reality, mixed reality and 3D user interfaces.
Regarding programm and paper presentations see the follwoing WebSites:
