AR Regulars’ table on Tuesday

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

AR MUC

Hi there friends and fellow followers.

Just wanted to remind everyone in the area of Munich, that there will be our regluars’ table again. Since it’s regular, there is no real need for a posting, but since summer did struggle a bit, we will go back indoors to our regular place:

Hope to see you there on next Tuesday, 7.30 pm.

Have a great weekend!

Hi folks,

due to popular demand and overwhelming soccer euphoria, we will delay the next regulars’ table in Munich by one week! It will take place on Tuesday, July, 13th, starting as usual at 7.30 pm. If the weather plays along we will meet at the Augustiner Biergarten close the central station!

Schlaaand!

AR MUC Stammtisch

Hey there,

just wanted to say thanks to all the AR interested people that showed up yesterday. It was a great night chatting and showing around apps.
I added the pictures I took to the Stammtisch page for you to enjoy. Yeah, it’s even in 3D!

The next regulars’ table will be on May, 4th. So join us if you couldn’t make it this time. Hope to see you there!

Cheers.

First AR Stammtisch, Snowboards, Dioramas and more

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Hey there,

just got back from my Dublin trip and just wanted to share some neat pieces with you and remind you:

AR MUC

Tomorrow we are having the first of the Augmented Reality regulars’ table in Munich! So be there and be square! Just kiddin. Hope to see lots of interested people at the Wassermann restaurant tomorrow at 7.30 pm. Check out the information here (always the top right link to AR MUC Stammtisch on augmented.org).

So, besides:

  • Total Immersion shows a neat finger snowboarding game using Augmented Reality. It’s cute, but I might be so blunt to claim, that your two fingers are not really involved and needed for navigation. ;-) Next please, a skateboarding game where your fingers actually matter and you are getting the grip on osis, 360’s and kick flips! :)
  • Kenneth Bogert from the University of Georgie did another interesting project on AR used for interaction purposes. It’s the first diorama I see with Augmented Reality and it’s fun to watch how it works well with physics calculated in real-time using a camera and a Wiimote for the tracking of shakes and twists of the box. Check out the video of the AR Shoebox Diorama.
  • As we were all a bit disappointed by the iPad, Thomas put together some information on a promising alternative - the Dell Tablet Mini 5. Check out his comments at gamesalfresco or at his page.
  • Another demonstration of AR technology (marker shirt tracking, head tracking) enter the bohemian world for a live interactive music installation. Presented by Cassette Playa.
  • I think everybody blogged on this TED video already, that’s why I skipped it. But if you haven’t seen it! Damn! It’s a must see! Microsoft goes GoogleStreetView with a live feed! This is totally amazing and scary. In Germany it’s currently a fight between Google and the German government to allow, not allow or pixelate and block parts of the German country and their privacy-at-stake-concerned citizens. The technology is amazing, but I’m sharing the doubts on revealing everything automized through the web.

Cheers.

1st AR regulars’ table in Munich

AR Stammtisch München

Hey there all in the AR community!

We are having the first Munich AR regulars’ table (in German “Stammtisch”)! Join us if you are an AR newcomer, pro or just an enthusiast to chat about the technology, exchange ideas, show demos with your laptops or smartphones - or - just to drink a beer and talk about something completely different once in a while for God’s sake. :-)

When? Tuesday, March, 2nd, 2010. 7.30 pm
Where? - a pub called “Wassermann” directly at “Fraunhofer” metro station.

All further information (including map) can be found on the Augmented Reality Stammtisch page. You may also join the xing/facebook/linkedin group to share your thoughts and give us a first idea of how many people will show up.

Facebook Group      xing Group       linkedin Group

I’d love to see as many AR enthusiasts there as possible, though space might be limited. Next table will be, depending on interest, every other month or so. I will let you know.

Hope to see you on the other side (in real life)!
