In this ICT (information and communications technology) video, we look at Augmented Reality, in which your computer screen becomes a magic mirror. The idea is to use a camera and a black and white marker to transmit real-time information about an objects angle and spatial position. This way, real elements (the desktop, hands and marker) are mixed in with virtual elements.
