Illusionist and augmented reality artiste Marco Tempest has put together a video preview of his newest act, called (aptly enough) “Augmented Reality Magic 1.0,” and has been kind enough to share it with us. In the video, Tempest uses AR to demonstrate what’s going on in his fertile imagination as he performs a card trick — cards levitate, Jokers dance, and the birthday cake? Well, you’ll just have to see for yourself. The most impressive part is that the whole thing goes down in real time, and utilizes C++ with OpenFrameworks, OpenCV, ARToolkitPlus, MacCam, “and other Open Source goodies.” Nothing’s done in post-production. Are you prepared to have your mind blown? Video after the break.
