worlds first mobile Augmented Reality browser
AMSTERDAM, Tuesday June 16th, 2009. Mobile innovation company SPRXmobile launches Layar, worlds first mobile Augmented Reality browser, which displays real time digital information on top of reality (of) in the camera screen of the mobile phone. While looking through the phones camera lens, a user can see houses for sale, popular bars and shops, jobs, healthcare providers and ATMs. The first country to launch Layar is The Netherlands. Launching partners are local market leaders ING (bank), funda (realty website), Hyves (social network), Tempo-team (temp agency) and Zekur.nl (healthcare provider).
How it works
Layar is derived from location based services and works on mobile phones that include a camera, GPS and a compass. Layar is first avaliable for handsets with the Android operating system (the G1 and HTC Magic). It works as follows: Starting up the Layar application automatically activates the camera. The embedded GPS automatically knows the location of the phone and the compass determines in which direction the phone is facing. Each partner provides a set of location coordinates with relevant information which forms a digital layer. By tapping the side of the screen the user easily switches between layers. This makes Layar a new type of browser which combines digital and reality, which offers an augmented view of the world.

magic Interaction
a one-week word for interaction design for an interactive table. Funny :D
Designed in a one-week Interaction design project at GSA (Glasgow School of Art), the video shows a concept for an interactive table, that responds to the volumes of peoples' conversations, and their gestures, with motion sensors. In doing so, OLED lights reflect the amount of input some one has by revealing a pattern on the table surface, and by the lamp center piece getting brighter. Initially inspired for intimate situations such as dating, where body language and equal input to a conversation are subconsciously noted and none the less very revealing. Both the concept and the video were created within a week.

Body Gesture Interaction Systems
This video shows the results of the PhD thesis project of title "Markerless Full-Body Human Motion Capture and Combined Motor Action Recognition for Human-Computer Interaction" developed by Luis Unzueta(http://luis-unzueta.vndv.com/) at CEIT ( http://www.ceit.es/mechanics/index.htm ).
THE_SPACE_BETWEEN_US
The space between us' is a motion tracking installation which is a trigger for interaction between people.
Most new media communication systems today are
channeled through the medium of written text, for example, email, chat, sms.
Our bodies remain passive and the lack of non-verbal cues often leads to misunderstanding.
In this installation, participants are encouraged to use their body to explore new ways of expression through new media and body language. This will create a responsive environment which has the potential to generate interaction. The system responds to physical movement, location, proximity, body structure and posture. These parameters will be collected in real time and then translated into an audio-visual language.'The space between us' examines the instance of the computer as an agent for communication between people. It offers a playful experience which aims to bring people together and celebrate their non-verbal skills in communication.
XTR
Extreme Reality (XTR) is a world leader in 3D Human-Machine Interaction.
Providing software based solution for 3D computer control using hands & body movements.
XTR developed proprietary real-time high-resolution software that analyzes 3D human motions using one simple web cam without any additional accessories.
It allows users to interact with computers and gaming consoles, play games and interact in virtual worlds using natural human motions instead of using keyboards, mouses and joysticks, or any other hardware devices. And use their hands as
a virtual mouse.
XTR universal interface can be tailored and seamlessly integrate without modifications to existing applications. It also runs on mobile devices, and may be ported to any embedded platform.
