Magic Book
Very creative use of AR in a printed book - an excellent example of what you can achieve when artists and researchers collaborate. The best bit is that the AR element does not stand out as an artificial overlay but feels part of the book contents itself. Partly owing to the fact that the computer was was also hand-drawn and scanned in by the artist to create the animations. Another great touch is the placement of the camera in the lampshade providing not only intuitive placement but also an inbuilt light source ensuring ideal lighting conditions when it’s dark. They have another book called the “Haunted Book”.
The book uses non-rigid surface AR technology developed by EPFL+ECAL Lab.
