Well, I don't have a web cam to try this with, so I can't test it. But either way, I can't read anything on the site anyway, so I can't read what to do with the instructions.

Robert, Vista doesn't work with it.

Get your terminology right ;).

Hi guys,

I'm glad you liked our application and our demo-video.

The company responsible for this advertisement is called metaio and we are a german-based software-development-company with subsidiaries in the US and Korea.

I'm the one resposible for the 3d-Content-Creation, and since I have been using Blender for 8 years now, I'm a little bit biased, when it comes to choose what software to use ;)

If you are interested, please have a look at :

http://www.metaio.com/media-press/media-gallery/
Most of the models in the Marketing-Section there were modeled and/or animated with Blender.
Since we use VRML as 3D-Format a lot of baking (animations, constraints, textures, shadows, etc.) had to be done in Blender before exporting the final data.

As andy_circus brought up the idea of AR-Toolkit above:
The AR-software we use is called Unifeye. It is our inhouse-developed Augmented-Reality-Software.

If anybody has further questions about the software, the technology or our Blender-worklflow, please just post them here.

Wow… I tried loading the pdf in my iphone, and with the brightness all the way down it ran just fine on top of my phone! That was the coolest thing ever ;)

If only that ad was for some EV… new technology to sell the old one …
but nice working technical exemple following the video .
we'll do some other stuff with ARToolkit (and actualy I think its not AT used for this ad, at least it's the closed source new version they develop http://studierstube.icg.tu-graz.ac.at/handheld_ar/stbtracker.php , or concurent system) ,
Julian Oliver lead the way … (wonder what he has in mind for next piece… )
