LM3LABS’ team wish you a great augmented year 2010 ! We would like to thank our customers and our partners for the past collaboration in 2009 and we are delighted to start this new decade with them.

The new coming decade will bring incredible new experiences, technologies, development in the realm of interactivity.

As a Greeting card we would like you to share a face tracking experience that we prepared for you.

With this “greeting card” we express our philosophy that technology can bring more joyful experiences to human beings, discovering cultural heritages from an other angle, that we all must protect those precious heritages and diversity.

The greeting application let users experience traditional Japanese Noh theater masks, also called no-men. The bamboo on each side are traditional Japanese offering for the new year. The plum flowers (ume) are also traditional good luck symbol. The background is made of traditional Japanese paterns, while the side paintings represent divinities.

EXPERIMENT BY YOURSELF !

Philip Morris Japan currently run a promotion campaign using Augmented Reality.

12 couples of ladies equipped with tablet PCs wander in streets and meet with smokers to present a new Philip Morris product using Augmented Reality.

The augmented reality content is triggered by “markerless” images (there is no big black and white markers but normal pictures) and is scripted to leverage users’ actions: left tilt triggers a specific message while right tilt will trigger an other content. The 3D content uses extended graphic rendering like 3D motion, reflection, glow, etc…

Because of Japanese laws and Philip Morris’ policy only 20+ year old viewers can watch this movie. Please enquire to LM3LABS to get your password (info at lm3labs.com).

We launch this week a new offer dedicated to business card augmentation. Business card augmentation means making more from business cards and turning them into multi-media promotion tools.
