Augmented Reality for Games, Plumbing

Filed in archive New Applications by Scott on February 5, 2006

Siemens Business Services (SBS) has announced co-development of augmented reality (AR) applications with appliance company Miele and Austrian links

petroleum company OMV to assist installers with connecting gas lines and fixing leaks.

What's soccer got to do with it? To advertise this new expertise, SBS has developed an AR-based game that allows players equipped with a Siemens cameraphone to aim for the back of the net against a digital goalkeeper. The game, called Kick Real, enables the user to track their own foot in a shot against the virtual goalie.

Augumented reality is likely to see near-term applications in repair and installation services, such as the appliance installation example here, other types of diagnostics, and perhaps even areas such as telemedicine.

Add your response to Augmented Reality for Games, Plumbing: Response from: flykoo (10/22/06 2:16am) Maybe, this function is useful for 0.001% of mankind, but I'm not sure even in this. Response from: appliance parts (09/24/07 10:12am) n this year of the soccer world championship, if you see people at the bus stop standing on one leg, getting ready to fire off a shot with the other, staring at their mobile phone, and then leaping into the air and yelling "goal!", you can be sure they are either suffering from severe world championship fever or they are using the latest AR application from Siemens Business Services on their mobile phone. It comes from C-LAB, the innovative software foundry of Siemens Business Services and the University of Paderborn.
