			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In January, flying <a href="http://gamesalfresco.com/2010/01/06/augmented-reality-at-ces-2010/" target="_blank">Augmented Reality Drones</a> stole the show at the Consumer Electronics Show: a quadricopter controlled with an iPhone, that unleashes augmented reality games. What a knock out.</p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s time for the land-based vehicles to show what they&#8217;ve made of.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.seac02.it/blog/2010/linceovr-3-3-ar-drone-based-games-and-linceovr-4-all/" target="_blank">Seac02</a> just published an SDK for developing augmented reality games for the <a href="http://www.wowwee.com/en/products/tech/telepresence/rovio/rovio" target="_blank">WowWee Rovio</a>.</p>
<embed src='http://widgets.vodpod.com/w/video_embed/Video.2983152' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' AllowScriptAccess='sameDomain' pluginspage='http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' wmode='transparent' flashvars='' width='425' height='350' />
<p>The PC-based software (dubbed <a href="http://linceovr.seac02.it/" target="_blank">LinceoVR</a> ) not only allows you to control the mobile-webcam Rovio , but can also recognize markers dropped in the perimeter, and overlay on top animated 3d models of enemy robots, weapons of augmented destruction, and more.</p>
<p>In fact, Andrea Carignano&#8217;s (Seac02 CEO) big idea is to empower young (and young at heart) out there to create their own augmented reality games.</p>
<p>Andrea explains:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Rovio is quite popular with several thousands of customers and a strong following among the tech community worldwide. This one of the reason we have chosen Rovio; the second reason is that you can use it even in an apartment or a really small room.</p></blockquote>
<p>Rovio is currently available for $229 at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/WowWee-Rovio-Enabled-Robotic-WebCam/dp/B001CQLGD6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=toys-and-games&amp;qid=1265237607&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">Amazon</a>.</p>
<p>The LinceoVR (AR enabling) software will be available next week for €25 and the SDK will ship in 2 months and allow any user to create her own new simple game, share on the internet, launch in a browser, start the plugin and control the drone from anywhere in the world. Nice.</p>
