Requires WindowsMediaPlayer, but it is well worth it. The subject is augmented reality and is the finest demonstration of a new technology I have personally ever seen. Be prepared to mix superlatives with profanity. I was unprepared to see a display of such technical proficiency. I thought this kind of stuff was years away. >From a Blog: "Total Immersions has an "augmented reality" tool called D'Fusion Technology, as demonstrated in the Windows Media (ugh) video-stream (ugh) linked from the page below. It's pretty stunning: real people and objects are captured with video cameras and then three-dimensional virtual objects are seamlessly matted in, so that the demonstrator appears to be holding a bouquet of flowers that turns into a lightsaber, then a helicopter flies over the audience, etc. The gaming applications are pretty rad -- think of EyeToy with about a thousand times more granularity and interaction" xponent Virtual Flower Display Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
