Constructing augmented reality worlds on the fly

Here’s a quick demo shows an experimental AR system that lets people construct their own augmented reality spaces by manipulating a series of printed cards.  The screenshot and video below showcase how this kind of system can be used to grow a small virtual garden on your desktop.

The eventual goal for this project is to create a series of physical manipulatives that can be used in a pediatric rehabilitation setting for recreation & therapy purposes.  I’ll be sure to provide more information as we begin testing the AR environment with actual users in the weeks ahead.
