Virtual reality: No longer niche
Published on May 27, 2014
Virtual-reality headgear like the Oculus Rift, the Avegant Glyph, and Sony's Morpheus are all the buzz. CNET's Brian Cooley explains the potential impact on gaming and vertical industries where VR might ultimately take root.
Televised Sailing Gets a Dose of Augmented Reality
Published on Aug 29, 2013
Sailboat racing is as thrilling, dynamic, and suspenseful as any sport—but until now it's made for boring television. No longer. Starting with the 2013 America's Cup, you will be there, virtually speaking.
New augmented reality techniques provide perspectives and information never before available to spectators: the tracks of the boats through the water, course boundaries, penalties issued, wind direction, speed, and other things that significantly affect the outcome of the race.

Augmented reality with a mobile robot
Published on Sep 18, 2013
In this video we use a robot-mounted video projector to virtually revive an old computer.
Navigation of the robot is done with an extended Dynamic Window Approach. Precise localization is needed to get the CRT-monitor into the projectors field of projection.
To achieve this localization accuracy we use an extended Monte Carlo Localization on an Occupancy Grid Map. The map was created using a mapping framework with robust back-end and post map optimization.
The projection correction is done by projecting a known pattern in the scene and re-detecting it in a camera image. A coarse alignment of the projected pattern is currently done manually to facilitate its re-detection. From correspondences of the projected pattern and its re-detection we derive a transformation which aligns a projected image with a desired target in the camera image.
The old computer is revived by running an emulator on the robot and projecting its virtual screen output onto the CRT-monitor. There are still visible distortions in the projected image because the surface of the CRT-monitor is not planar.
Additionally we utilize a clap-detector as input for the game running in the emulator.

Augmented Reality Binoculars
Published on Oct 13, 2015
SRI has developed an augmented reality binocular system for training the forward observer. The technology has been successfully demonstrated as part of a live simulated training system, in which synthetic aircrafts, ground vehicles, and weapon effects are combined with real-world scenes.
