Augmented Reality from BBC Radio 1: "Band In Your Hand"

May 11 2008

It's brilliant to see the "Band in Your Hand" Augmented Reality feature built for Radio 1's Big Weekend. There's even a video showing Scott Mills trying it out!

Read more about it on the Radio Labs blog.

While talking about Augmented Reality, I was browsing through the recent O'Reilly "Augmented Reality - a practical guide" by Stephen Cawood and Mark Fiala. It looks like a great introduction to the subject, describing some of the new augmented reality frameworks that have improve on the trusty old ARToolKit. However, I felt that the demo application that the book presents could have explored the tangible augmented reality side of things more.
