Mastodon Augmented Reality - in action!

Here are a few youtube.com videos implementing the Mastodon Augmented Reality experience (I created the model, textures, rig, animations, as well as worked on particle systems):

I'm in the beginning of this video, sitting at my work computer desk:



and here are a few random videos from youtube.com of people who recorded themselves wearing the Mastodon Creature Head:

Wondla Vision

Backtracking a little bit...

Around July 2010, we worked on an interactive Augmented Reality map for the release of the children's Science Fiction Fantasy novel Wondla

Wondla Vision



I helped out with the construction of a few of the characters and a few animations.

Augmented Reality and the Armed Forces

This is definitely backtracking in the world of projects done at Total Immersion...

This project was completed around February 2010, and I didn't know this video existed.

US Army Bring Augmented Reality on Tour!

U.S. Army Launches Augmented Reality Game



This is a game where the 'driver' uses a card/tracker to maneuver a vehicle along a road and around various obstacles. I worked on the environment, re-texturing the US ARMY NASCAR vehicle, and animating the vehicles.

AR Kinect Demo

This is a demo created showing the kinect system in pieces and then put back together again.  I modeled and textured this piece.

An AR Addition Game

This was an augmented reality demo project where I modeled and animated Umi characters and the number 4.  When you tracked the cards, Umi appeared. If you put two cards together, the program counted the number of Umi (2 cards of 2 Umi) and then an animated number would appear (4).

Revisiting James Cameron's Avatar Augmented Reality Campaign

I was strolling through the internet and came across some more videos about the Augmented Reality campaign for James Cameron's Avatar from 2009(which was a huge part of my life at work)

This first video is just an interview about the campaign, it doesn't demonstrate the technology.

Mastodon

The project I am currently working on is for the next album release of the heavy metal group Mastodon. I'm modeling, texturing, rigging, and animating a 3D computer version of the creature head that will be used in a facial tracking experience.

Coca-Cola and Cowboys & Aliens

This was an advertisement game for the movie Cowboys & Aliens along with Coca-Cola.  Using your movie drink cup,  you activate the wrist cuff "blaster" and attack the alien spacecrafts "Speeders" before they fly away with all the coke bottles.

I modeled and textured the low polygon Speeder spacecraft.

Kiddie Concepts - Arcade Game - Video of the Astronaut experience


This was a series of 4 different augmented reality games: pinball, a safari, a space racer, and an astronaut voyage.  The child enters the kiddie ride, it tracks their face and puts an appropriate 'helmet' on their head, then the experience begins.   At the end, your picture is taken.

This video shows the animated alien floating by:
