In association with the Montrose Settlements Restoration Program and Pavement LA, Total Immersion developed an environmental kiosk that uses AR to teach kids about pollution and its effects on wildlife and the environment.  DDTs and PCBs dumped in the ocean near Los Angeles decades ago continue to contaminate natural resources in the area.  The Montrose Settlements Restoration Program is taking action to restore these resources.

Kiosk visitors can sample any of three augmented reality experiences, each accompanied by an embedded informational video.  As kids witness the nesting habits of bald eagles, they learn about the lingering impact of DDT on the species.  A separate vignette highlights habitat restoration among native seabirds, known as murrelets, while a third promotes safe fishing via an animated look at the white croaker, a fish at risk from DDTs and PCBs that are still found in the sand and mud on the ocean bottom.

Adding to the excitement and experience of the evening was the digital augmented reality applications which had kids participating live in Toon Cricket contest and enjoying games, video and wallpapers on their mobile phones while watching their favourite toons sweat it out on the pitch. Taking the action and fun to the virtual world for the first time, kids present at Toon Cricket got a chance to be just like their favourite hero, Ben 10 through an innovative Augmented Reality (AR) application. The funky AR stall called the ‘Cartoon Network Digital Zone’ at the stadium had kids being clicked wearing the virtual Ultimatrix.

With the new offering from Total Immersion, spectators share the stage with virtual live performers, playing a guessing game around what’s real and what’s not. For organizations looking for an effective, dramatic way to engage audiences, Interactive 3D Live Show provides a way to bring characters to life on stage — as game show hosts, storytellers, historical characters, or whatever the situation calls for.

The turnkey Total Immersion solution consists of:

- Live performance.  A next generation live stage show, the platform combines the appeal of a real/virtual performer with the magic of 3D effects.

- Audience participation.  Guests are swept into the story as they’re integrated into the show.

- Scalability.   The platform supports an easy upgrade of current 3D or 4D theatres into a one-of-a-kind live 3D show.

- Branding.  Interactive 3D Live Show brings characters to life on stage, entertaining audiences as the characters assume various guises.

As kids in the U.S. begin that annual back-to-school ritual, Total Immersion has joined forces with two environmental organizations to bring an engaging lesson in eco awareness to children visiting SEA Lab in Redondo Beach, just south of Los Angeles.

Amiens Cathedral is taking part in an Augmented Reality operation to re-launch its light show initially created in 1999.

This will not be a traditional virtual visit, such as the ones which can be found on Google Maps; “The whole Cathedral has been modelled day and night in 3D with light shows” explains  Mr. Cédric Piatek, Amiens Metropole . And virtuality will mix with reality.

Each and everyone will be able to connect to an Internet site together with a distributed leaflet or a downloaded document to hold in front of a web cam. “Then the magic will begin, the person will be on screen, part of the show, as the document displayed to the web cam becomes a support for the visit of the Cathedral”.

Interactive Kiosks

By moving the document, it will be possible to discover each and every corners of the Cathedral. “The night mode with its polychromatic effects will be reachable in a simple mouse click”.

And for those who do not have a web cam; three interactive kiosks will be accessible in the city. One of which will be walked around various retail shops.

Amiens will be the first French city to communicate to the general public through Augmented Reality. “This amazing technology aims to encourage mainly children to come back, in a playful way, and those who have already seen the show”. Cédric Piatek is pleased to say. “People will also have the possibility to visit out of their own home and to show parts of the show to their friends”.

The operation has been devised in partnership with Total Immersion, the software provider, World leader in Augmented Reality.

Total Immersion delivers a interactive experience mixing face-tracking and movement detection for Sanofi-Aventis booth in French Pavillon.

Axis3D, chinese partner of Total Immersion, develops a unique face-tracking application that you can experience in Chinese Pavillon.

Total Immersion is working with a range of partners, in and outside the attractions industry, to develop new uses for augmented reality.

Developed in co-operation with Hanwa of Japan is a new state-of-the-art haunted house fusing a video game with live adventure.

Before entering the attraction, guests are equipped with a backpack and video gun (pictured above) featuring an infrared camera, LCD display and trigger. They must then progress through the house looking for “ghosts.” Augmented reality allows guests to see characters that aren’t really there, on top of scenery that is (as below). As soon as a ghost is spotted on the gun’s screen, players shoot to collect points.

The attraction has been developed with family entertainment centres in mind, or as an upcharge activity at a standard amusement park. Hanwa will provide the hardware on a turnkey basis, while Total Immersion supplies the augmented reality software.
