PaperTweet3d: Augmented Reality T-shirts

So we here at squidder have been playing around with the FLARToolKit a lot recently. Pretty amazing stuff really. And while fooling around with it, something (perhaps obvious) occurred to us: We love flash. And we also love t-shirts. And Papervision. And Twitter.
And, suddenly, we had a way to combine them all together.
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!
Update: YouTube drools, Vimeo rules.

[...] Squidder s’amuse également avec Flartoolkit en placant le pattern sur un Tshirt, et il l’utilise en affichant son dernier statut twitter. On peut imaginer toutes sortes de choses amusantes avec du coup, mais le mélange avec twitter est sympathiquep, car tout comme les essais de General Electrics vus précédemment, il y a une utilité (mais tout est relatif). Prochaines étapes : facebook ? Google Maps ? [...]

Hi guys, have been playing with your demo and it’s great! Just having a problem with my movieclip. It’s doesn’t appear to be scaled to the size of the plane. All I can see is a highly pixelated corner of my movieclip. Just wondered if you had any ideas?

Hi again, just wondering if you had any plans to release your source anytime soon? I’d really like to know more about how you made your barcodes and integrated them with flash. Have you thought about using QR or even reactivision codes?
Thanks again guys,
David

I wonder what kind of barcode they’re using.
It’s not a QR code, and it can only contain 8 characters so it’s probably a small one
The idea however is brilliant, embedding info/data inside the marker itself.
Could you shed some light on the barcode?
