What is augmented reality?

Augmented reality is the combination of real-world video with virtual computer-generated imagery. Using a webcam, an AR app can capture an image on video, recognize objects in the real world, and let you interact to with the application through your video camera. The results are a mixture of the real world and a virtual world, or, an augmented reality.

We have had hours of entertainment sticking our friends’ faces on dancing elves with Elf Yourself. We’ve been mesmerized by AR projects, such as the GE Smart Grid and tobi.com’s Virtual Dressing Room. But at Scott Design, we wanted to create an AR app where you could combine video of yourself with something fun and beautiful.

Introducing the Augmented-Reality Snowstorm

We’re pleased to announce the launch of the Augmented-Reality Snowstorm, where you can put yourself or your family in a virtual snowstorm. Instead of just adding yourself to a piece of art, or playing around with a business app, you can add a peaceful (or not so peaceful, depending on your preferences) snowfall to your life.

All you have to do is download an AR marker, visit the Augmented-Reality Snowstorm, and hold the marker up to your webcam. Your video camera shows your image and picks up the image of the marker and it begins to snow on you. You use the marker to control the snowstorm by twisting and turning it, plus you can add more flakes or make the snow fall more quickly by using on-screen sliders. When you’ve got your snowstorm just how you want it, put down the marker and just enjoy the snowfall.

Don’t have a webcam? No worries!

If you don’t have a webcam, you can still have fun with the Virtual Snowstorm. Instead of using the webcam and marker, you change the snowstorm using a series of on-screen sliders.

More holiday fun

When you’re done making it snow on yourself, you can go back inside and visit the Scott Design Holiday page and play with the Snowflake Designer, curl up by the Virtual Fireplace, try your hand at Snowbash, and send out your holiday greetings using Special Delivery. They’re all part of our collection of online apps designed for just one thing: having fun!

We wish you happy holidays and a prosperous new year!

Scott Design Inc. has developed a free holiday web page maker called Special Delivery that allows users to create custom web pages as an alternative to buying, writing, and mailing traditional holiday cards.

Special Delivery goes far beyond typical e-cards, allowing users to add their own photos and personalized messages along with beautiful backgrounds, animations, and even music—and then share with friends and family.

And it’s not only for the holidays—users can send online birthday wishes, design party invitations, share news and photos with friends, and post their creations on their Facebook and MySpace pages.

We were planning on creating this as a holiday gift for our clients, but with the current economic situation and environmental concerns, we decided to make this available to everyone. And, personally, I’m looking forward to using Special Delivery as an easier, quicker way to keep in contact with colleagues, friends, and family, since I’m a notorious procrastinator when it comes to sending out holiday cards.

Special Delivery was built in Adobe Flex, a set of technologies used to develop rich Internet applications based on the Adobe Flash platform.

I hope you have fun creating cards for your friends and family this holiday season, and throughout the year!

Tomorrow night is the season 3 premiere of the Nickelodeon kids’ show “The Naked Brothers Band.” Scott Design created some online Flash games for the web site of the two young stars of the show, Nat and Alex Wolff, so we thought we’d bring the games back in celebration of the new season. What’s your high score?
