James Alliban’s Augmented Reality Business Card

Not satisfied with plain boring business cards, James Alliban took his to a new level and integrated an Augmented Reality system into it.

There’s not really enough space on a business card to explain yourself in any detail so I thought I’d extend it using augmented reality. I recorded a short video bio and created a 3D grid of coloured planes. These colours are updated with the those from the video. The planes are extruded depending on the level of brightness.

Look after the break for Video of the system.  You can visit his website and print out the marker yourself to try it out.
