Source: ScienceAlert Researchers from MIT have kicked the augmented reality game up a notch by inventing a program that allows virtual objects like Pokémon to interact with real-world environments. This new technology called Interactive Dynamic Video allows animated characters move about the world.It further allows them to realistically affect objects in the environment. So how does this intriguing technology works?  The technology uses traditional cameras to analyse the invisible vibrations given off by certain objects in the frame.  These 'vibration modes' are then fed through a number of algorithms at different frequencies that represent the distinct ways that an object can move.  Based on data captured from just 5 seconds of footage, the program can build realistic simulations of an object’s motions on the screen in front of you. This technique allow programmers to drop Pokémon or other animated characters into an environment and hav...

A New Disney Research Project makes coloring books more exciting for modern- day children. The team at Disney has come up with an app that enables the user to color the cartoon character and witness how the character comes to live on a tablet. The app brings the characters to life but still retain the same texture on the screen.
