Harry Potter mania: From Fiction to Augmented Reality



A time will come when we will have question like..Is this The Fiction or The Reality?

With the release of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince Movie Nokia's Chief Technical Officer Dr Yrjo Neuvo is determined that science fiction used in movie can become reality. He credits JK Rowling saying

"Many of the things she is painting in her book can be implemented in the phones in 5-10 years. Its really exciting".

Nokia have already developed a picture frame, available later this year, which lets people to beam imaged directly onto it from their phones. Tower Defense game is based on AR which runs on Nokia N95 Smart phone.

The concept behind Augmented reality is to blend real world and computer generated data into real footage in real time. Which means ghostly moving people in framed pictures which deck Hogwarts staircase's and the mysterious Pensieve which show 3D images of memories can become reality. Now we wont have to remember the Exciting and memorable events, Mobile phones are here to help us out.
