This just launched today. More fun and games involving AR + Motion Capture + Flash + FB CONNECT

Here’s more info on it:
It utilizes Augmented Reality (although this time there’s no need to print out a marker) along with the same proprietary Motion Capture technology you saw in our last prototype, the “Webcam Social Shopper”, to show how the technologies can be utilized within the casual gaming space to create entirely unique and immersive webcam based flash games.
The game we’ve created to showcase the coupling of these technologies is called “Cannonballz”. By using motion capture, we are able to allow anyone with a webcam to physically engage with the game’s environment. In short, they get to “appear” in the gameplay. In this case, they are dodging cannonballs while trying desperately to save their friends (which are imported via a Facebook Connect integration) and accumulate points. Once their game is over, people can quickly and easily share their scores and the game by easily uploading it to their Facebook stream (once again, this integration is made easy thanks to Facebook Connect).
