The Future

what would be bad-ass is something like Google glasses using that tech, not some tiny phone. or something like Oculus Rift (though big and bulky as fuck).. but ultimately nothing would beat a contact lens.

I thought about that, I photoshop'd pewep's face onto a 3d model and made an animation of him raping sheep, which I thought about using but it was late and I just slapped it together really fast after working on something else similar.

Pewep fucks chickens, not sheep.

The sheep just post screenshots of how they have pewep on ignore.

Yeah the occulus rift I was telling my boss about. He bought a kinect sensor, an asus version, and some hd video cams for various shit. But the Occulus fully integrates into Unity no prob, which is what I'm using for the game content/interactions.

There's also a plugin for $500 for Unity that allows you to use a projector like iMax and it contours the projection to a globe rather than a plane.

And at work I'm using an ipad with a cam so it's a bigger screen. But for board games, interactive maps, and shit it's pretty neat. Thinking of other products like soda cans and shit that can be made into an interactive game.

Other projects at work involve "Sedna Presenter" for giant LED displays.


To make your own tracking library there's an open source visual library called OpenCV. You have to compile it to objective-C for iOS, then you can access the methods in Unity with C# and it's really much faster than native Unity. But it's full of crazy algorithms, hardcore math, hough's algorithm for example finds lines in an image for architectural shit or street lines on the road.

What I'm using this for is pretty cool at work. Imagine 2 playing cards, you put them on the desk and point your phone at them, each card will spawn the player model of the card with it's stats, if you move the cards close enough to each other, they start fighting. I'm not using baseball cards but something else. When one is slain it dies. lol They can cast spells/fireballs at each other and stuff too.

Other uses would be a game map, you unfold it and scan your phone over it to populate 3d villages, dungeons, etc and can watch the 3d model villages go about their business, fight monsters on the outskirts of town, etc.

It tracks the objects to if you rotate them and move or rotate, which is the hard part.

Another use is to interact with giant LED billboards with your phone. You can control the content that's displayed within some limitations.

So this means I can finally play Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon IRL????????

That's the idea, I can't say what we're working on cause we don't have a contract yet(pitching a demo), but basically we have playing cards and are making 3d models of the character, and using the card as a tracking object so if the camera see's the pattern of the card in the video feed it spawns the model(s) for the card (and tracks rotation/movement). It can be an entire environment for each card, and if you slide the cards close enough to each other they can attack, shoot spells, and so on. Can be real time or turn based, that's imply logic in the game engine like any other game.

From there you can let player's register and battle against another registered member (IRL) and the results can be saved to a database for tracking stats for the user and their deck of cards....

That is brilliant.

The only problem is the phone itself. Nobody wants to hold it the whole time during playing. Something like contact lenses and google glasses would be better. It'd make both gamers more mobile and they can actually use both of their hands to play/do other stuff.

What company do you actually work for (if you don't mind asking) and when do you intend to release all of this awesome stuff? :)

That's awesome, so its basically augmented reality.

This would also be pretty cool for something like chess, or even battleship.
 
This is very cool. I can already see some 15 year old slinging "fights" in school for cash, gonna be a trip.

Carry on OP, totally cool stuff. Even if you don't bank hard from this the experience alone is worth its weight in gold.

Roughed out virtual buttons that toggle skeletons off/on and got it tracking multiple targets so you could do a board game or similar watching 3d models fight, or load 3d porn or something: just using my webcam on desktop for vid

No, it's not. The URL is HTTPS the text is HTTP. Unnoob yourself and post it like you mean it.

Not sure if it's the red tone to the skin or the evil smile while the animals squirm, but there's something very disturbing about this video.
 
So basically what you're saying is that once we all have google contact lenses, this augmented reality shit will be popping up at us all over the place, for all sorts of purposes and uses.

pretty crazy shit. interactive holographic images will become just a normal part of our visual landscape.

can't wait for the horror and the awesomeness of it all.
 
Another little test with a asus knock-off version of a kinect sensor I brought home from work:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmnEai8FPvY"]Unity + Kinect + OpenNI - YouTube[/ame]

Kinda shitty cause I'm trying to hold the camera at the screen while lining up with the sensor and I don't really have room to move. Also it's only pointed at my upper body so the legs aren't working right in the vid. I should probably do it on a laptop in the living room.

But basically you can control a 3d character with a kinect and push shit that fires an explosion. Just a simple prototype. Could be cool for displays where you have a sensor and people control stuff as they walk past.

Also could combine with the augmented reality stuff.
