Great hi-tech business card with integrated an Augmented Reality system into it.
There’s not really enough space on a business card to explain yourself in any detail so I thought I’d extend it using augmented reality. I recorded a short video bio and created a 3D grid of coloured planes. These colours are updated with the those from the video. The planes are extruded depending on the level of brightness.

wow!!! The question is: “HOW?”
Well, the technique called “Augmented Reality” (overlaying of computer generated information onto the real world). If you need info, just tell me.
I don’t get it. Is it like a video trick? Or… is that part of the card?
to VirtualAlex: Software installed on computer recognize business card, when it is in front of camera, and show 3D grid.
Nice AR Card.
Learning how to create one for myself now.
yep, very interesting technology I’m going to create tuturial and may be sources
Like mentioned above, AR is overlaying the reality (captured with a camera in real time) with additional stuff generated by the computer. The card used here is just a marker that the application recognises, so to know where to add the information on the video.
I’m not sure this is such a good idea as a bussiness card - the person with the card has to have suitable hardware (these days not a problem probably since most of notebooks have webcams, but still might be an issue) AND the specific software to be able to get anything out of it - so either the need for downloading an app or perhaps making it a web one, either way further issues.
