Papervision – Augmented Reality (extended) from Boffswana on Vimeo.

Some smart guys in Australia managed to create a Flash application that makes use a printed sheet of paper to manipulate a 3D character in a Flash movie using a webcam. It is unbelievably awesome, you can print out the sheet from their website and try the trick yourself. I tried it and works, the image below is of my desk with creature alive on the screen.

You can get the image and the Flash movie from this page. The source files are also available for download from the same page.
