Project Description:
This is a chair for overlaying virtual information
onto the physical world. This
chair, done for Apple Computer, was an augmented reality system that allowed
people to extend their desktop to their entire room. Virtual objects could be
dragged off the desktop onto any object in the room. A screen hanging off the
chair would then overlay that virtual object on that spot in the room. It also allowed a portion of another room to
be layered on top of the existing room using QTVR.
Technical
Notes: This project was
done using a Blue Earth microcontroller, programmed in Basic. The overlay software was created in HyperCard.
