Augmented Reality Rock, Paper, Scissors T-Shirt – Arm Busts out of Chest

by Jay Garrett on January 24, 2010

Perhaps one of the lowest-tech games, Rock-Paper-Scissors (even the game devices are low tech!), has just been given the AR treatment.

To the naked eye, the shirt is a ‘normal’ tribute to the game Rock-Paper-Scissors.

The geek magic happens once you place yourself in front of a puter that’s set to T-post’s special web app and switch on your web cam.

An eerie green arm emerges from your chest to challenge you to a hand game of chance…………

Check out the vid below :)

TeboCam – Free Motion Sensing Web Cam Software

by Jay Garrett on December 30, 2009

TeboCam is a free webcam program that alerts you should some ne’re do well be trespassing.

Ideal to set up in your home or even at your workstation – how many times have you had to replace your pens and stapler last year?

I suppose that this software could also be used for other occasions where surreptitious filming is needed…..

According to the TeboCam page:

  • Receive emails with images of any movement detected.
  • Publish movement images to website.
  • Graph of movement over time (with calendar facility).
  • Start movement detection at a specified time.
  • Set the sensitivity of movement detection.

TeboCam is still in Beta and ‘may contain nuts’ but it is free!
