If they can get rid of the wires, I’d change my vote from dork to cool. I’m also really interested in how many applications are available. Otherwise, they’re a really expensive toy.

Hey Blair, Zombie AR is cool. Are you using Daniel Wagner planar tracker in it ? BTW it seems comments turned off in your blog.

Thanks for keeping me honest, Blair…;)
(This was my way of finding out if there was any AR demo before)

I did see additional AR demos on the exhibition floor and will report about them soon.

The folks told me that this is just an engineering prototype still, the final one will look a little different. It wasn’t functioning, for example. But, it sounds VERY exciting, if it lives up to the specs. We’ll be getting some.

Oh, also: Ori, there’s no way this is the first AR demo at GDC. Remember Eye of Judgement? They must have demoed this. There are others this year, too (aren’t they showing an EyePet demo somewhere? And our Zombie game is in the NVidia booth on the Tegra).

Cool…ish.
The wires at the side are dorky, and the whole thing dosnt look as streamlined as their concept.

Still, if its under $500 and has decent, open, support I’ll be getting one.
