Phase#1 results will be published end february 2007
--------------------------
Results of the project between écal, EPFL and a networks of Partners (phase#1: sketches, working sketches, models & prototypes --see the project's starting brief--) will be published mid february 2007 within this section of the *variable environment/* blog.
-
We will publish three open source camera/vision based softwares (Augmented Reality --AR--, AR & Interaction & Networks, Space tracking & Networks), "corporate" AR signs & signs font, AR-ready "oldtech" objects based upon this "corparate id" (paper, t-shirts, stickers, wallpapers, etc.), webcam objects (a new "domestic" design language for web cameras), descriptions of applications, demos.
The "variable environments" will be the re-setting in situations of all these results. We will also publish other experimental results (some workshops results).
In the meantime, you can have some sneak peeks inside the work in progress (starting brief, softwares, webcameras objects, AR signs & patterns, applications, environments):

Or listen to conferences by Ben Hooker (Workshop_2) & Philippe Rahm (Workshop_3) about their work in relation to the variable environment problematic:

Finally, you can also check a selection of projects we did within the frame of this Ar&D project in 2005 around the AR technology (EPFL's technology) with undergraduate students (2nd year students, Visual Communication). Projects were in this case conceived as short demos using the software rather than as full applications. They were in a way helping questioning a specific technology being still under development in laboratories.
