Default Augmented Reality At Zurich Observation Deck B

From Feb 2012 Augmented Reality has been added to the binoculars at Zurich Aitport Observation Deck.

Quote:

The physical environment around the new 250-meter-long "Observation Deck B" [artcom.de] at Zurich Airport has been infographically enhanced by German interaction design studio ART+COM. Several media installations and interactive exhibits enable visitors to learn new insights about the airport and its activities on the tarmac.
The most magical addition consists of a set of see-through telescopes that overlay context-aware information on top of the live image, offering useful information about airport buildings and any airplanes that appear in view. To detect the exact physical position of the airplanes, specific data has to be gathered from the tower, such as a plane's type, destination or point of origin. In addition, the graphics that appear on the floor and some of the walls resemble the markings on the runway and act as a guidance system. As half of the visitors are children, the open-air exhibition also includes several educational panels and an airport-themed playground.

A couple of well produced videos there Kurt, great to watch, Zurich is such a photographer friendly airport. I have done the Zurich Airport Tour several times, and love the variety of aircraft operating out of Zurich. The tour highlight is getting off the bus at the runway intersection when there is plenty of traffic operating on both runways, you are just so close.
