I'm not sure what to even say. It's a shoe that works as a controller so you can play one video game where you shoot storm troopers and costs over $100?
It's like the power glove on crack.

Why not a shoe?
I mean, I love augmented reality and want to see more of it on portable devices, this is just the worst possible venue for it. It may as well be on a McDonald's Big Mac box or something.

Marc Ecko obsesses over stormtroopers, and he's violently popular for some reason. My guess is Adidas is trying to ape him.
Storm troopers are edgy?
Mark Ecko is king of the backpackers.
Um... what's a backpacker? I'm guessing there's more to it than just having a pack on your back.

Damn shoe spammers.
Adidas has this huge retro Star Wars thing going. They put out Darth Vader shoes, Stormtroopers and Skywalkers, as well as Leia and Yoda kicks.
The skywalkers and stormtroopers look cool. The others range from fugly (Vader, Leia) to WTF
are there really that many people spamming shoes on penny arcade???
There was a couple going on a for a bit. So yeah I guess PA is prime shoe marketing candidates.
I never asked for this!
Someone who goes to hip shows, with a backpack on their back usually containing things like cans of spray paint which will never be used, weed, ipod, etc etc. Usually white kids from the burbs who think they're way more afroinformed than anyone else.
And this just makes it so much better.
Brilliant.
This is like, a fucking joke, right?
Sorry I was just getting a real kick out of all this. I thought the idea was a real shoe-in
i am now interested in the ARToolkit and the possibilities for dnd, i mean it just needs a webcam and pieces of paper right?
I don't understand the draw here. With paper I can understand, but shoes?
Sadly no. A friend of mine went to the Houston Champs to confirm they are actually on the shelves.
"walk around, and experience the world in TRUE 3d". $100 is nothing for graphics like that! plus a completely open sandbox environment
That's all it needs, but remember each person needs their own screen to be able to see the stuff. Everybody holding up their iphones, looking through it like a viewer onto a world with tiny orcs on their table.
It also requires lots of programming, there are a lot of small demos but you're limited by your ability to program the set up, physics, rules, and graphic design. All it really does is provide coordinates for your view on the scene.
you could use a single webcam and a large computer screen to look at it
or even a large projector
The point of augmented reality is to be able to move around the object and see it from different angles. A single screen just makes it like that Eyetoy card game. Why bother projecting onto your table when you could just be looking at a normal CG world like Oblivion or something?
