We have already seen augmented reality being used on pool tables for instructional purposes. Following the same principle a student named Thomas Mayer has developed a table tennis trainer for his bachelor thesis.

Animated Dashboard displays Player's profile and other related stuff

Two CL-eye cameras and a HD projector was used in order to track the motion of the ball and to give the table an interactive display. One of the best features of the trainer was that it maintains the Player's profile which includes win/loss ratios, player's attributes and other related stuff. The chip which has been embedded in the player's racket serve as a login credential of the player.





We are finally getting to see the huge potential involved in Augmented Reality.

Disney's Coloring App converts 2d character you are coloring (in an app-compatible coloring book) into a 3d character.

In some part of our lives all of us wished to see the characters we color dance around, It wouldn't take long before our wish turns into reality as people at Disney research are working on application which can turn your doodles into 3D characters that can move around the screen of your phone/tablet just like your favorite cartoon characters.
