Nice Augmented Reality Demo
[General Electric](http://www.ge.com) put out a nice [website](http://ge.ecomagination.com/smartgrid/#/augmented_reality) with an impressive [augmented reality](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_reality) demonstration.
The fun part is that you can play around with it yourself - on your computer, within your web browser!
Here is how it works: First, you print out one sheet of paper with a symbol on it. You then start GE's little Flash application which uses your webcam. All this application does so far is to display your picture in the browser. But if you hold that sheet of paper to the webcam the symbol opens and a nice small 3D animated landscape comes out of your paper. You can change the view by changing the perspective to the paper you're holding in your hands.
[Try it out!](http://ge.ecomagination.com/smartgrid/#/augmented_reality) It's awesome!
Warning: Flash 10 is required.
