Hopefully this video that I found will give you an idea of what i hope to acheive with the augmented reality screen. Not quite sure what i want to display but this video gives you an insight into some of the stuff that can be done.
I have now decided to make the kiosk even more interactive by adding an augmented reality feature similar to the kiosk shown in the "Cool Interactive Kiosk" link. The Flyers which can be taken from the kiosk will have an interactive featue. The idea is that when you hold them up in front of the large screen, they will display a 3D image in front of the card, perhaps a 3D image of the band or artist for which the flyer is advirtising. I haven't fully decided on what to include in the 3D image, so I'll keep you up to date with how this idea develops.
The drawing below is the first ( very rough!) drawing of the concept as it stands. The idea is a large touchscreen table top. Users interact with the screen by placing their finger on one of posters/flyers on the screen and dragging it to the center to activate the content contained within it. Once the user lets go, the whole screen is taken over with information about the event they have chosen. Information will include video, audio, still images and text. I hope this gives you a better insight into my idea for the time being. Extra features will be included once I have decided for certain which ones I will use. 
in the middle of researching the endless possibilites that are open to my project at the moment. A bit laborious but I'm learning loads. Found looooooads of cool stuff on the web to do with touchscreens that are out there at the moment. Fell free to check out some of my favourites which I have added to my "Relevant Links" section of this blog. Some very impressive stuff in there. Kind of scary when you realise what your up against! I'll be back soon to keep you up to date with whats going on and to upload a few sketches of the first design ideas that i have come up with. Chat later....
Finally decided on a project! For my FYP, I am making an interactive table-top that will be used as a guide for all the events ( gigs, comedy shows, exhibitions, plays etc) that will be happening around Limerick in the next month. The table top will be touch screen, allowing you to browse through virtual posters and when clicked will allow you to view reviews, pictures, videos and extra information about the event in question. At the moment the project is in the research stage as I am trying to figure out what is plausible and what is not. I'll keep you posted!

Despite not being a teenager, and nearly 25 I can still hear it. I reckon it's cause I'm a genious...
