Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Media Technology Center (MTC) are developing media technologies with the potential to transform journalism.
One such project is "augmented paper" that would allow anyone wearing augmented reality (AR) glasses to see moving images on a page that would display correctly even when the pages bend.
MTC is using Zurich's city center to test the concept's practical legibility, with wearers of AR glasses able to see local information like tram departure times, ads for shops, or related newspaper articles.
Said MTC's Severin Klingler, "Our tool means users no longer have to grapple with the difficult question of how to get their virtual content into the right real place."
