I love Japan.

In contrast to all the high tech 3d compositing and animation, it’s nice to see some ways to innovate, old school. Very nice timing. I wonder if they did it all in one take.

This is a really cool use of an iPhone to set up motion tracking, 3d video compositing, etc. Check out Pro Video Coalition for more details.

Impressive demonstration… but they should have picked a different scenario, like doing something more productive. All that interactive surface and augmented reality is a waste of power, just to make a cup of tea.

Okay, I’m going to design something like this too… the visualization is just awesome (and useful!). I’d like to design a visualization for our trac system. Heh.
