I'm only going to speak in animated gifs in this thread. ;)

It’s an augmented reality demo; that’s an image as seen through special glasses.

There are no glasses in the world that can take a flat image and cause it to appear in any space that isn’t covered by the screen on which it’s displayed. It’s fake, pure and simple.

Huh? Why are you assuming it’s projected by the iPad?

Hawkeye_Fierce · 2011-08-25T08:11:51.000Z

Looks like the same thing that game Eye of Judgment did. The camera reads the pattern on the iPad, and the software “projects” the 3d image onto the video.

Well I suppose if the glasses are the screen and the image is projected onto them it could work with the iPad just being the real world point of reference for the image and the interface to it.

Mike_O_Malley · 2011-08-25T08:27:24.000Z

Right. You could register the 3D projection into the glasses based upon the data displayed on the iPad. Much simpler way to do it. Dampen the rotation a bit (the iPad’s going to have some quiver when the guy spins it around) and you’re all set.

It’s not easy to be an old dog.

It’s not easy to be an old dog.

My sister had two pekingese. One male, one female. The female was smaller, but would routinely knock over the male and hump his head before trotting off. If treats were given out, she’d take hers and go sit in the middle of the living room with the treat resting on the floor in front of her. The male would eat his treat immediately, and then see the female with her treat, go try and get it, and get chased off. She’d immediately return to just sitting there with the treat in front of her waiting for him to approach again. She was a total bitch.

Yet again our animal friends mimic our own world.

Don’t say that shit, Jag. I’m a grandfather here! That’s the last thing I want to hear.

No, he means it’s not a real iPad.

Maybe it’s the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1…?

I can’t help but imagine he’s yelling “BAM” when shooting that gun.

Er, isn’t that some kind of spoiler, albeit one edited for ‘humorous content’?

delirium · 2011-08-25T14:33:48.000Z

I don’t think Harry Potter actually shoots Lord Voldemort in the head with a gun.

robsam · 2011-08-25T14:35:59.000Z

Great, now you’ve spoiled something else. Some people didn’t know that either.

For me it’s “POP!”

Jag:

The dog doing the humping is a dead ring for my puggle. He’s not above the occassional dominance hump but I think that would be a bit much, even for him.
