The code geniuses over at Squidder have created what is officially the coolest e-shirt I’ve ever seen—one that uses augmented reality to display a hologram of the wearer’s last Twitter post.
Um, that’s sick. In a good way. There’s a video demo above so you can see what I mean. Essentially, the Squidder augmented reality tee shirt blends our online communication with real life. It’s like virtual reality, only reversed.
Below is an early technical demo, in which a barcode, containing a twitter username, is embedded within our FLAR pattern. This is important because you don’t need to create a new pattern for each username. Instead, the flash reads the person’s username (up to 8 characters, encoded in 6 bit chunks) and then pulls that person’s latest post from twitter.
The source code is a mess, but we’ll be posting some more how-to details soon. In the meantime, enjoy the video demo below!
