Lately I have been reading and investigating more about “Augmented Reality”. For those of you new to the term AR is a combination of real-world with computer-generated data, where computer graphics objects are blended into real footage on the fly.

Augmented Reality brings a very interesting and new way of experiencing content and apps in pretty much any device.

Couple of samples:

- GE Ecomagination Project

- AR on the iPhone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0bitKDKdg0

The GE sample leverages the Flash Player on the browser and your webcam to fully interact with a 3D model in real time. It’s based on the FLARToolkit AS 3.0 library.

Do u want to learn more about how to build Flash based AR apps? The you need to check the master of the tutorials, Lee Brimelow. He just released a new tutorial on AR!!!

Enjoy!!!
