Hermaton: Enter the Grid

Hermaton: Enter the Grid

Nomination for Auggie Award: Best Mobile AR App Creator: Sahar Fikouhi Organization: Darf Design =*=*=*= Description: Hermaton is an augmented reality exploration game designed as a large scale spatial installation, which follows from our initial architectural prototype for “Grid”. Although available at table top versions, the premise of this project lies in its capacity to harness augmented reality as a spatial medium which transcends mere visualisation and enters a dialogue between physical and digital space. The large scale of the installation allows a greater understanding of how augmented reality can affect us at an architectural level and change the way we inhabit and perceive the built environment. The project uses a buzz wire maze which people can navigate through in real-time, attempting to interact with the digital objects of the “Hermaton” machine. The design of this environment provides both an interactive and performance space which allows the user to fully immerse in a new augmented physical landscape. The AR system is enlarged to occupy an entire room by covering each wall with trackable markers which can be experienced on both Android and ios devices. The prototype was developed using Vuforia Augmented Reality SDK and Unity3d.

Nomination for Auggie Award: Best AR for Enterprise Creator: Manuel Will Organization: Buena La Vista Interactive GmbH & Co. KG =*=*=*= Description: The collaboration between SAP and smart glass manufacturer Vuzix takes the smart glass to a way more realistic and in near future relevant context than Google Glass might. Because it’s a B2B operation, adoption of these glasses is way more probable and realistic than for the consumer market right now. We think that the solutions presented in the video and the app have great potential increasing business efficiency. The attached file contains an .apk and a marker. Both are used at SAPPHIRE in Orlando on Vuzix’ M100 Smart Glass to show the possibility of working with AR-enabled glasses. You can install them on an Android Smartphone and scan the marker to get a feeling for it.

The Ascent

The Ascent

Nomination for Auggie Award: Best AR Hardware Creator: Yehuda Duenyas (xxxy) Organization: Mindride LLC =*=*=*= Description: The Ascent is a mind-controlled immersive ride/game spectacle that allows riders to levitate high into the air through saturated environments of interactive lighting, sound, and atmospherics. Originally developed at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, The Ascent puts riders in the center of a mind-controlled game world. Using mental power, riders control their own flight experience, crossing through enormous atmospheric thresholds, while triggering overwhelming EEG-reactive lighting and sound. Riders can achieve an epic-win by rising to the top of the ride, and are rewarded by an indoor firework display of hi-octane theatrics and show-stopping spectacle. Part adventure ride, part spiritual quest, this epic experience is the first neuro-driven ride of it’s kind, and as of June 2012 was considered the largest EEG bio-feedback machine in the world. The Ascent uses neuro-technology, custom software, and an original show-control system to deliver a mythic, mind-altering take on the intersections between humans and machines, Where to find it: Please join our mailing list at www.theascent.co and we will notify you about the next time and place you can experience The Ascent Platforms: Stationary Device, Gesture Device Additional Screenshots:...
