Augment your ping pong ball!

Hi everybody,

as a fan of projection mapping, I wanted to share this one today!

As we know, there are different tracking systems out there to allow real-time projections onto surfaces. Well, real-time is to be discussed of course. At the metaio insideAR we have seen a neat demo of using a depth camera for tracking. Now, they’ve added a video to youtube showing a few more impressions of the concept:

Nevertheless, tracking speed remains comparably slow. Taking a look at the below video now, will raise our hopes to augment the ping pong balls and basketballs of this world with advertisements some cool graphics. The system uses fast-turning mirrors to cast the image in the right direction. Pretty damn fast! Initially used for recording camera images, but then also shown with a projector. Neat!
