There have been a few other vidoes people have made with pink hoodies that Bruce commented on, maybe he just decided your red one was close enough to pink.

Overall, I’ve found it absurd and hillarious that he picked out that link within a few videos. I mean really… how common are pink hoodies?

And your patent list is quite impressive and I hadn’t seen it before. My question was more as a referance to Apple’s “AR” patent they filed this summer which generalizes the overall technology. I’m certain many specific technologies, as you’ve shown in your link, will be patented, but not the overall “idea” of AR.

Bruce Sterling was commenting on on of our videos when he mentioned the pink hoodie, when in actuality it was a red one. If that’s not what you’re referring to in your quiz then I guess we did thumb our noses.

You realize you’re thumbing your nose at the AR gods by using a non-standard colored hoodie. For shame!

Ahh… I never knew that about the teapot and the lenna. Compelling object nostaligia. Thanks for the history lesson!

it’s nothing revolutionary here. It’s just my personal feeling… you know about the teapot and lenna? the teapot geometry was a test geometry for computer graphics from Utah U and from martin newell in the 70s. it became the standard reference object… a picture of a playmate became the reference test object for computer vision guys… and now (for me) I feel the same familiarity when I see a HIRO marker. a mixture of nostalgia, common history, etc. it feels like people know what they are doing when they quote to the roots of a technology…
cheers

nice quiz. made my day!

reg. #6… yeah, with the hiro marker Hirokazu Kato created the same for augmented reality as did the teapot for graphics guys and lenna for the computervision guys.
