Or you could, you know, talk to a real woman.

Just because no real woman would ever want to sleep with you doesn't make them obsolete.

Give the Americans technology and we'll bring monsters to life, give it to the Japanese and they'll use it to virtually molest women...

This technology is actually pretty old by know. I'm actually surprised that the framerate is so low.

If you want to see a spectacular example of Augmented Reality IMHO here's a nice vid:

I have acquired ARis for 3 months ago, she was more like an infrared system which is the program made the webcam sense the images on the images & having the interaction with her.

I've seen various videos of AR and what anonymous is saying here is very much the case, the pattern controls where the 3D-image should be projected. The way the pattern is angled in the video in turn defines the angle of projection and rotation.
I've even seen people control audio software and synths with paper cutouts this way.
The price for Aris is a bit high in my opinion, they probably thought nobody was going to buy it. Or they are hoping more will believe something is actually inside the cubes.

At any rate you can't tell me this was an expensive thing to develop as there are tons of code of it already available. I think there's a high possibility of (a lot cheaper) self-published AR figures like this coming in the future.

there are in fact paper crafts to make the cube and the poker stick, i believe. Just in case you lose them, i guess, grouped together with the software also, in case you lost them together >.> or something.

Another genius.

I refrained from posting as I had no idea you could get it internationally, and I had not seen the amusing videos, only the boring demos.

News of this has indeed been out for a while - as I've been lusting for it for several months I definitely would've posted something on it but I would've sworn Artefact had already done a news post on this preciously before my time...

My memories must've been off.

After those ARToolkit Miku posts I knew that this was inevitable...

They should really allow custom user mods. Given how much effort has been put into dress up games, I think plenty of people would submit stuff.

I think she's a lot less amusing once she gets used to all the random stripping (video 2). And her cute voice just grates me.

I still like the raptor part best (video 1).

Speech recognition program + Chatting program + Vocaloid = conversation ability XD

That instant forgiveness after getting a present is spot on. xD

The implementation is most definitely software based. If you look at the "hardware",as it were, you can distinct patterns on them. These patterns both identify to the software what the function of the item is, as well as its location in 3D space. This is basically the same exact thing that the Eye Of Judgment game does.

Of course, you have to spend the extra on the camera to get good pickup... A more than fair trade.
