Augmented Reality for 3D Max and SketchUp

By Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality can be very impressive within office, museum and gallery based environments. It provides a hands on way to visualise cityscapes, architecture and urban animations displayed directly onto a physical desktop.

With the plugin for 3D from AR-Media it is also extremely easy to create:


We like the way all the animations are held with the file and move beyond the tag.


If you have not tried out tag based Augmented Reality yet then now is your chance as AR-Media also have a plugin for SketchUp:


Head over to http://www.inglobetechnologies.com/ to download the plugins. We have been working with AR for a while now and it really does offer a lot of ‘bang for the buck’.

News Telescope: Augmented Geography

By Digital Geography, interactive exhibits, news telescope

The ‘News Telescope’ is an augmented reality device which allows the user to navigate through a 3D visualisation of the world navigable through geolocated place names. When selecting a location the telescope searches numerous web feeds and data api’s to find ‘news’ relevant to that location, whether it be text, video or audio based.

There is something about looking through a telescope that intrigues us, especially as its all geographically referenced and digital. The movie below shows the scope in action:

As an interactive museum piece we think it works well, it would also be interesting to install it in a city observatory to ‘look’ at the tweets over a cityscape in realtime?
