Augmented Book Prototype

Project from Convivial Studio is a publication which displays augmented animated content through a projector, and have produced an Instructibles page to show how you can make one yourself:

This tutorial is for an augmented reality book using a Kinect 360 and a projector. The Kinect is tracking the position of the book via its camera, so you can move it around and the projection will follow the motion of the book. You can for example project 3D elements that will appear complete with shadows and will be able to rotate and change shape, colour, texture.

We always thought augmented reality to be a great technology however it is always required to experience it while looking through a device. We wanted to try to use it in combination with projection-mapping to create a seamless and magical experience.

A hundred and eleven years ago, Orville Wright, with the help of his brother Wilbur, piloted the first airplane. The brothers, who began experimenting with flight in 1896, were careful to document their trials.
