Virtual fitting room

Tobi.com has launched a virtual fitting room that users can access from their home. Augmented reality will help in answering the most important question: “how will this look on me?” Just by using a printed marker and a webcam, users can  try items on  and motion sensors are used to rate styles with the wave of a hand. They can also post pictures immediately to Facebook in order to see what friends think or when you just need that second opinion.

Augmented reality Twitter feed shirt

Posted by Katrien on Tuesday March 3rd 2009 at 11:38

Today, I stumbled upon a post from PSFK that grabbed my attention. At Squidder, they apparently love augmented reality and besides an nice experiment with a car, they made an augmented reality Twitter feed shirt.

On the front of the shirt, a pattern - containing a Twitter username - is printed. When the pattern is detected by computer or phone, the Twitter feed from the corresponding Twitter user (embedded in the pattern) is displayed!
