The wonderful technology behind Eye of Judgement
The Sony-developed key component behind Eye of Judgement is called the flux capacitor Cybercode. This award-winning tech was built upon "the Matrix method," a visual identification technique that "identifies real world objects and estimates their coordinate systems simultaneously." In essence, it turns a barcode-like symbol on a game board into a sweet-looking fire-breathing dragon.
The 2D matrix code relies on a square-shaped barcode and since the matrix codes are printable, it offers a low-cost technology with high-tech appeal. It's not exactly new, since this particular technology has been in research for some time. The original video shown here (after the cut) dates as far back as 1996. It's amazing stuff and we can't wait to play with it in Eye of Judgement. How about you?

I never believed in magic, but that is some warlock stuff right there.
It would be neat if you could submit photo's on a web app and have it kick out a tag to print. Then you could make your whole living room into craziness.

Give me some VR goggles feeding this video stuff in and I'll run around tagging my house with stickers. It'd be amazing to have stuff like this for museums also.
