Our very own CTO Paul Kouppas is from a medical illustration animation background having worked with head up displays and haptic devices almost a decade ago in the USA. Today we take a look at augmented reality apps that have been used from Sydney and Melbourne to New York, London and we see in future, developing countries to enable greater medical capabilities all over the world.

Augmented reality prevention tool

Created by Starbucks on 6 Feb 2012

It’s a new version of Starbucks Cup Magic app that allows customers to send and receive virtual Valentine messages. By scanning limited edition Valentine’s Day themed cups people could watch their cup come to life. They could also use it to send a Starbucks Card eGift!

This Vid was made as a Graduate Thesis in “Computer Graphics and Multimedia Design” at the Faculty of Architecture “Valle Giulia”. The main theme of the Treaty is “Augmented Reality”, and how this technology might affect the way we learn. The thesis consisted of making a short film that demonstrates the applicability of this technology and how it could change the way we learn and study.

The Society of Nuclear Medicine used Augmented reality as a Sales tool for their Annual Meeting. The Video demonstrates Gantry systems.

The USA Pentagon (DARPA) ordered prototypes of iOptik displays that use special contact lenses so a person can focus both on images shown on the lenses and far-away objects in augmented reality.

The contact lenses have a filter that allows a person to focus on images at a very close and far-away objects at the same time. That means people can see both images projected on the inside of the spectacle’s lenses and whatever is in front of them. The contact lens-based system also provides a wider field of view than other heads-up displays.

The augmented-reality system could be used for immersive games or to have mobile 3-D television, since it could show two separate images on both lenses.

In the military, it could be used for simulation and training, covert operations, or to perhaps show images from remote drones to a soldier in the field.

Taronga Zoo Interactive On-Site AR Experience (Ausgrid)

10,000 users passed through, over 5 weeks from mid-September 2011 till Nov 2011
The experience combines cutting-edge 3D depth camera and motion sensing technology to
have an awareness of the participants to power a series of reactions and animations that
are triggered by their interaction with the props and actions within the environment. Read more →
