"Invoked Computing” by Alexis ZERROUG, Alvaro CASSINELLI & Masatoshi ISHIKAWA (Univ. of Tokyo)
"Invoked Computing" aims to facilitate Human-Machine interactions by using everyday object as interfaces. Our multi-modal AR system will detect objects and augment them with images and sounds. For example, you can take a banana and use it as a phone handset, or a pizza box as a laptop computer.
