Portal Technology in the Real World
April 29th, 2008
Inspired by the mind-bending transportation technology in last year’s sleeper hit game Portal, this video clip uses digital augmented reality technology to produce a similar effect in the real world.
Created by EmmanuelMFr of France’s Total Immersion, the illusions in the video really are reminiscent of those in the game. Using his company’s D’FUSION software, he was able to swap the images on each virtual screen surface in real time, including full 3-dimensional transformations.
I had to watch the video several times before I really understood what was going on, but once you do, you’ll be scratching your head asking how the heck exactly they did that.

I’m guessing a computer editing program recognises the inside of both boxes and tracks them in video, replacing the inside of each with each other. The stickers around the side are probably motion trackers. Clever but they glitched it up from time to time.
