Sweet! One of our HUB members won a pass this weekend. We submitted a bunch of questions for him to ask, I am excited to see if he gets answers.

What does that say about "augmented reality target"?

Here's the site: http://goingrogue.na.cityofheroes.co...ented-reality/

I don't have a webcam, though. I'm guessing you have to take a pic of the Statesman helmet.

Huh, gimicky isn't it? Hopefully some kind soul with a webcam will post pictures of whatever it is.

Viewing the demo, it looks like a 3D image of Maelstrom. As you move the paper around, Maelstrom moves around on the website. It's certainly not "a peek at the world of GR", which I was excited about.

There's a pdf available to print out an image of the helm to use, if you don't have the PAX flyer. I don't have a webcam or I would try it myself.

I'm guessing it is a preview. That City of Heroes is teaming up with NVidia to have a 3-D version of Heroism and Villainy in Going Rogue.

I don't care about that. I care about the wording they used, "a peek at the world of GR"... not "a peek at a 3D image of one of the characters in GR".

Just tried it. It's the in-game model for Maelstrom. Cool thing is, if the image is the "base" of the character, you can move it around to see him from different angles.

Edit: NM, it's too touchy to get a whole rotation of the character.

and to be fair, maelstrom IS a part of the world.

My computer crashed trying to use this thing. O.o

Kinda cool though, first time I've actually tried an augmented reality thing.

Very neat concept, but I figure the demo is about as close as we'll ever get to seeing it used in-game. You could do some awesome things with that in the realm of gaming though.

Vernor Vinge's novel Rainbow's End leaned rather heavily on the idea of 'augmented reality'. If nothing else the portrayal of games in the book was rather interesting.

Then there's also the bit that it's a Hugo award winning novel which is based off of a Hugo winning novella which I find fairly entertaining.

Maybe it varies from webcam to webcam. Mine doesn't like looking at the mask at angles. Straight on is fine though.
