GE Smart Grid Augmented Reality

Another teacher showed me this GE Sge smart grid augmented reality site today, wow it is very cool! It is kind of a real-time camera tracking and composting web application.

Basically, you print out a worksheet and hold it in front of a web cam while going to the site. It finds the registration image on the paper and lays a 3d image on top of the web cam output window. If you move the paper it will track it and the 3d image will move with it.

It is am awesome idea and there are a number of applications that this can be used for. It is just very cool.
Check it out!
It seems to be powered by the FLARToolKit. It would be cool to get it to work for are own projects.

About Me . . .

[-]

Creativity and design has always been a huge part of my life, it has been infused in the way I think, live, parent, and teach, so it is difficult to separate it from my instruction. My classroom is a 'studio' and more than just physical space, it is a way of thinking, it is a process, it is an atmosphere, it is what I call a “Creative Epicenter”.

I am a 3d designer and sculptor and have eight years of industry related experience; independent contractor for various firms, five years in the public art industry- lead designer, and founder and head artist at Specular Studios LLC.

I have sixteen years experience working with k-12 and post-secondary students; eleven of those years my emphasis has been teaching creative work flows, the design process, 3d design, and visualization. Additionally, I spent two years as District Technology Coordinator and curriculum trainer in NY. Over the last 12 years, I have developed two design program models, a new high school model, Digital-Evolutions and a middle school version TEAM-C in Denver Public schools.

Currently, I am teaching: 3D Design and Animation, Advanced 3D Design and Animation, Digital Portfolio I and II, Computer Graphics, MYP Design Technology, and IB Digital Arts. The backbone that drives these courses is teaching the creative and design process, in which I emphasis that 70% of the student's effort is the development the idea.
