Readers of XL, the magazine edited by the well-known Italian national newspaper La Repubblica, can find an Augmented Reality surprise, powered by Seac02, on the edition of march 2010.
Connecting to the XL’s website and showing the cover of the magazine to the webcam, users will see the last videoclip of Gorillaz, the mysterious cartoon band to which the cover itself and a news in the magazine are dedicated.
The application is made using Flash texture tracking technology, in order to let people enjoy easily Augmented Reality online without downloading any plugin. The videoclip appears and plays with audio on the cover of the news paper and follows it. This is the very first markerless Augmented Reality application on the Web for an Italian national magazine.
I lettori di XL, il mensile di La Repubblica, possono trovare una sorpresa in Realtà Aumentata, targata Seac02, nel numero di Marzo 2010. Connettendosi al sito di XL e mostrando la copertina della rivista alla webcam, gli utenti vedranno le immagini dell’ultimo videoclip dei Gorillaz, la misteriosa cartoon-band a cui la copertina stessa ed un articolo della rivista sono dedicati.
L’applicazione è realizzata utilizzando la tecnologia di Texture Tracking in Flash, per consentire alle persone di godersi la Realtà Aumentata online senza scaricare alcun plugin. Il videoclip compare ed è riprodotto con audio sulla copertina della rivista, seguendola. Si tratta della primissima applicazione markerless (senza tag) di Augmented Reality per il Web per una rivista nazionale italiana.
I am very excited today. I can finally announce that starting from today, Seac02 can offer the first all in one solution to experience immersive Augmented Reality!
We offer a very special bundle, Vuzix iWear VR920 + CamAR for FREE for any new purchased license of LinceoVR 3.1 professional or enterprise, and more then 200€ discount on the price of LinceoVR 3.1 for Rhino Bundle.
Anyone today can enjoy Augmented Reality in 5 minutes, no pain, no tech issues at all, just the time to receive at home the software and the google.
See the video below that explain how easy is to start working with the bundle:
Many new users noted that on our website we still miss some useful video tutorial, we are working on them, and soon will be online.
I hope in the meanwhile that someone shall appreciate this new video.
10 minutes to learn in LinceoVR how to:
export from Rhino a 3D model and to load in LiceoVR
apply material to the scene
setup shadows, background, HDRI ligthning
define a product configuration in terms of material variants
activate realtime depth of field
record a realtime video
save images at 8000×6000 pixels resolution in …. 3 seconds! wow!
and something more….
Let me know if it has been useful or not.
I am very happy to see that everyday the LinceoVR users community grows. LinceoVR is the first tool in the market for realtime design review that embeds Augmented Reality features (ie. instant camera matching), helping any user to visualize virtual product faster and cheaper then ever.
30 minutes to create your own AR application. From scratch.
You start with 3D-modelling with 3Ds Max, then create the model textures with Photoshop. Inside LinceoVR you can then apply bump-mapped custom materials to the model and render it in realtime or export is as a high-resolution movie or image.
The cool thing is that you can also create geometry and material variants for fast product prototyping, and compare the different created layouts in your surrounding real-world environment using Augmented Reality.
But the best thing has yet to come. You can continue the process creating a custom HTML+CSS+JS application with our Eligo SDK to create your very own augmented reality application.
The video below has been made by our partner Hanoul Neotech, and it shows how easy it is to create a custom augmented reality application, following all the above mentioned steps.
That is cool! I’d like to try it!
Really? Welcome on board then. LinceoVR is our professional virtual+augmented reality software, free to use for students for not commercial purposes. Go to our download page, signup and ask for a free student license!
If you’re not a student, a fully funcional 25-savings trial version of LinceoVR is however available to anyone with no time limitation. Go to our Download Center and install it now!
2 weeks ago we received a sample product from Vuzix, an iWear920 googles and CamAR module, we begun the integration in LinceoVR and in Eligo sdk.
LinceoVR and Eligo now support iWear in mono and in stereoscopy, we are working on the tracking capabilities for new excinting user experience.
Augmented reality is ready yet, Vuzix product opens new frontier in AR market, stay tuned for more news.
First live test for real immersive AR
Below a video made using Vizux product, the screen resolution was 1024×768, the CamAR video resolution was 800×600. The 3D model comes from Autodesk Alias Studiotool, all is in 3D, exterior and interior. Low frame rate is due to the notebook we used, but anything is in realtime, HDRI rendering, ambient occlusion shadows, geometry and material variants available with one click.
Seac02 Asian distributor Hanoul Neotech has released his new product based on Eligo and his object tracking features
An usefull AR solution, ready to go!
HairArt is 3D Hairstyle Simulation System using seac02 Eligo AR tech. User can experience cyber wigs and choice a preferring hair style. User can move his head freely with cyber wigs.
Over 300 different hair stile have been defined, the application will be installed in common point of sales, and can run on standard PC, it uses a common webcam to perform realtime tracking. See below the interface and a runtime video.
