Augmented Reality Business Cards

You might have read our post about Augmented Reality Browser app for Android phones. We were very much excited about that, but James Alliban has come up with something more awesome. Its not an augmented reality browser, not a new line of gadgets, neither an iPhone app, it is just a paper business card with augmented reality capabilities. Yes, James has expressed the geek inside him with the most unique way possible.

If you ever get a chance to meet James and he hands over his business card to you, you can get your hands on the augmented reality with the help of a webcam. Just open up James’ website, hold his card in front of your webcam and get your fingers crossed! You can see james’ video right on the business card and it moves across the screen, as you move the card here and there. If you take the business card away from the webcam’s view, the video also runs away along with the card.

Oh, never met James? Even I haven’t. No problem! You can print James’ Business card at your own from an ordinary printer and enjoy the thrill of Augmented reality by visiting his website!

Latest Update: James has taken this service down due to heavy traffic.

Have a look at the video:
