This is exciting. At our computer vision group at London Studio, we have been working on a augmented reality gaming and story-telling PS3 peripheral which is called Wonderbook. Wonderbook is an augmented reality book where the story comes alive on the pages of the book. The first game is a collaboration with J.K. Rowling (author of Harry Potter books) and is titled “Book of Spells”.

It was announced at E3 2012, and here are a couple of early videos and trailers.

So Sam and me got a paper on “Efficient Online Structured Output Learning for Keypoint-Based Object Tracking” accepted at CVPR 2012.

Our paper, “Struck: Structured Output Tracking with Kernels“, got accepted at ICCV 2011. You can get more information about this project from Sam Hare’s website.

I presented a revised version of the “Semi-supervised Learning” tutorial at Visual Geometry Group, Oxford University. Slides can be downloaded from this link.
