There have been some amazing projects that truly inspire the creative possibilities, and serve as examples for what Augmented Reality will eventually allow us to experiences at any time. When it comes to transforming every-day environments and buildings into works of art, this is a great place to look for creative ideas. Virtual lighting, 3D augmentation and distortion, edge highlighting, surface painting… it’s all here.

If you are interested in bringing these types of experiences to Los Angeles; if you have the equipment to pull this off; and/or if you know of great buildings/locations that can be made available to be used as a backdrop for a Projector-Mapping festival of sorts, please contact me. I am hoping to set up an event for sometime in 2010.

The following are a few of my current favorite examples (make sure your volume is up!)…

This year my New Year resolution has a slightly different spin… to fill myself with creative energy; stay focused on what I want in life, and have the unswerving intention of doing it! This year I am appreciating where I have been and applying lessons learned to the adventure ahead. I have numerous exciting projects and goals to accomplish this year, and I can’t wait to get started.

I wish all my friends, family and colleagues a very happy New Year! May your creative energy flow strong, making 2008 the best year yet!
