Giant AR card used to create a Mega Mii

@Drakkenfyre
Nahh it always been more simplier than thatt. The cameras can never seem more than we can, unless there are filters put on the camera. If you google it, most ar images are created by having huge qrcodes laying around or held somewhere so the device can read the encoded data and fech the stuff you requested. Thats how invismals and wy of judgment works.

That's exactly what I am talking about. An embedded QR code in the card.

As someone notes on the video, they had to recreate the images on the card because blown up they wouldn't work. If there was an embedded QR code. that would be some work recreating it.

@Drakkenfyre The method you describe almost works in the case of Eye of Judgement, and other AR card games that involve positional and statistical QR codes. But I don't believe any "webcam" quality camera in these inexpensive consumer devices would be able to interpret enough data (in a thousand different lighting setups) on a card to actually render new polygons. The fidelity just isn't there in real world situations.

There's a middle ground. EoJ for example could have one polygon model in software that is modified by data on the card, and those modifications can be as complex as they wished to design permutations for. Not just stats and colours, but combination of properties.

Now that I think about it, imagine a Spore AR game. 200 different pieces that are assembled based on data. That takes barcode battling to a new level if any QR code you scan can suddenly become a new creature.

@Drakkenfyre
I think your getting lost with the tirm embedded. There is almost NEVER an invisible to the naked eye code in an AR card. It just makes it hard for the camera to see. Its almost always visible

Eye of Judgement Uses a visible Cybercode the stuff at the top and bottom of the card.

Invizimals has a a square shaped card that works like the wii version.
Eye pet has a card with markings on it so it can know where its looking
etc..

Embeded generaly means on the card, not inside it, or invisible.
Remeber Cameras are only as good as human eyes, usualy worse. If we cant see it, they sure wont.

@Einlander

I like pictures.

@Drakkenfyre

it's definitely image recognition. People have already tried 'drawing' their own cards as well, and to varying degrees they work as well.

@Solar Jetman

I wasn't implying the camera itself was rendering, I was referring to a code that simply said "This object is this big, made out of this part, and this color", and the software did the rest. Think of it like a long-range version of the Game Boy Advance Card Reader and the dots.

@Einlander

What I meant by embedded was a clear ink layer laid over the image, readable in IR. IR light would bounce off of it, and the camera would pick it up. This apparantly doesn't use that, but I have seen that used before.

@Einlander Cameras can see ALOT more than they eye without any assistance. Infrared is proof of this.

@The Aquacharger

I feel smarter already.

@IronClawt

It's more impressive to see the Mii standing next to buildings and Giiiigaaaaantoooooor!

Saving time would just be a Mii standing next to mug full of pencils...
