The final piece is a lot more elaborate, but here is a loop of a test session
My first sub this year. Where has the time gone?
“LOST MY VOICE” by Adam White & Don Albrecht
A NEW IDEA using AUGMENTED REALITY.
Imagine looking into your monitor. A familiar room, a familiar face, but in the air a
wild feathered friend floats inches from your face, stars sparkle around your head,
and a feather or two drops to the floor.
Now it can happen. After 6 months of testing, programming, code, and design,
comes a fully functioning piece of interactive apparel.
Below is my 'Threadless Loves New Art and New Ideas' design 'lost my voice'. Due to the size requirement, the voting page image quality is reduced considerably. Below it's set much higher.
this is really amazing adam!! i hope that people understand what is going on when they vote for this or it could be in danger of being dramatically underscored.
yeah took me some reaearching to figure out how brilliant this design is, hopefully others that vote will do so as wlel, or else might be really underscored
so like, does it have some kind of sensor sewn into it or what? to be honest, the first time I saw this presentation I thought it was just a flashy gimmick.
yeah I'm a little curious how this would work. I think I've seen similar kind of things before but they have all had some kind of chip or sensor embedded into the fabric. How would Threadless do that?
We have programed 2 trigger censors within the print that act as 'activate' and 'confirm', making it impossible to counterfeit. Pretty crazy stuff. We have spent the last 6+ months doing tests, wheww!
so are they electronic censors? can you post a pic of what they look like? I am also curious how Threadless would be able to print these since you seem to be claiming it uses some technology they probably wouldn't have access to and/or be rather expensive. . . unless I'm wrong?
Basically, I think it's awesome, just curious how it all works
While staying in the agreement with the programmer, I can say it will not need any censors outside of the triggers within the print. No extra expenses needed, luckily.
No extra program needed, just the Flash plug-in that allows it to view the Flash above and a webcam.
We have programed 2 trigger censors within the print that act as 'activate' and 'confirm', making it impossible to counterfeit. We have spent the last 6+ months doing tests.
Wearing the shirt looking into a webcam on a Threadless page, will activate the prints trigger which displays all the 3D goodness within your cams display.
The triggers are just points within the art that have been programmed to be recognized. Once these 2 points in the art are in view on your webcam it will automatically activate the 3d graphic. As I understand it you could print out the design on a piece of paper or take a picture of yourself wearing the tee, hold it up to the webcam and get the same result as well. So, no actual censors will be sewn into the shirt or anything like that, without the webcam it is just a t-shirt with an awesome graphic on it.
