An installation of the new Toyota Auris with Hybrid Synergy Drive uses projection mapping to bring to life the technology within the Auris itself. Glue Isobar used seven projectors to project a CG version of the car onto the real car, allowing observers to walk around the car and experience the effect.
Thanks to Glue Isobar for sharing.

Designer Maxim Barkhatov recently posted a video for his concept glasses known as ARPA (Augmented Reality Project Assistant):
ARPA is a concept product & interface that fuses together the IKEA model of furniture assembly & the do-it-yourself mentality inspired by the Home Depot. It allows the user to digitally interact with their real-world environments while planning their projects with the patented augmented reality technology.

Barkhatov joins a series of others active in the AR furniture game.
Not the first thing I’d do with AR goggles, but pretty awesome nonetheless.
