Augmented Reality Plug-In For Autodesk Showcase

Imagine taking a live video, or pre-recorded video with some QR code looking "markers" and then digitally replacing that marker from the video with your design model.  Effectively overlaying you design into the real world, or augmenting reality with your design improvements.
Yep, we can do that.

Here's a very crude sample video I recorded from my laptop webcam using the techniques described in the Getting Started Guide, and the "Basic Sample Project" that comes with Revit Architecture.

Some very amazing potential for this technology.  How would you like to see it used?

Begs the question "How much longer until this is integrated into mobile devices?"
It's good to live in the future.
