Esquire – Augmented Reality
From the looks of it Augmented reality will be getting main stream soon.
I first came across it in my placment year when KMP were playing around with a tester it looked really nice and soon there were companies using it here and there such as the baseball cards and a clothes tester
and now the magazine Esquire have put it into one of thier issues. It even has Robert Downey Jr running around doing different things in it.
im sure we will soon be seeing it everywhere.
Here's an old clip explaining what it is and what the major benfits of it could be:

Theo Jansen at TED
We looked at movements in animals last week and spent some time on ToonBoom making rough animations of animals moving and Theo Jansen was mentioned for his creatures.
As you can see they are really quite impressive and i think the reason why they work so well is because he's actually working like evolution does and building a creature entirely from scratch. he first started out with an animal which needed a person to push it and now hes envolved his own method of capturing air and storing air and progressed to a "brain" which can feel obsitcles.

Some of the the KMP lads came up to Leeds for a night on friday which was a nice change from the people i go out with normally, i was starting to miss some of the geek banter, such as the constant Nokia N95 abuse. (Is it only me who has pictures of that night?)
I think the next "KMP+ Sam" night out is meant to be in January so I hope to see more of you KMP people out!

Haha pretty sick stuff. The fact that they got 76% after only a few games is well good! it would have made a great third year project if someone was doing user interaction or somthing like that.
