When you look at the paper I’m holding, what do you see? Can you tell it’s the Statue of Liberty? Even when I move the paper all around you cannot tell what it is.. until I drop it in front of my Macbook. You like how that Augmented Reality works?
ARSights allows users to download models from their site and experience them using Augemtned Reality Technology. All you need is an Internet connection, a web cam, the Google Earth plugin and ARSights. It’s so easy to do!
Download and install ARSights. Then, print a pattern called a Marker. Browse the network and pick up the 3D model you prefer. Download the 3D model and run the application… and poof! You’ll be amazed at what you see!
Print your pattern on any normal piece of computer paper. You can make it look like you’re holding the Statue of Liberty in the palm of your hand like I did! Turn it any which way you want. Heck, you can even grab the Eiffle Tower and hold that, as well!
Explore the World right on your desk – with free, cross-platform software! It couldn’t get any better than this.
