The Ring in Augmented Reality

Oh, what a brave new world our inventors and engineers have developed for us! If they can't solve world hunger or bring peace among nations, at least they can scare the living daylights out of us. Programmer Abhishek Singh made an augmented reality program that recreates the iconic scene from The Ring in which Samara/Sadako climbs out of the TV. You know the one. It's pretty creepy.

She's even able to follow the viewer around as you try to escape. While it's not perfect, this does show the terrifying possibilities for the technology and what it can be used for. -via Gizmodo

I *highly* recommend the films of Tarsem Singh ("The Cell", "The Fall") as he has used more than one of these locations as backdrops. What the stories may lack, his visual sense more than makes up for.

Any chance someone could list the wonders - bizarrely I can't read it in the UK...

"We're sorry but this site is not accessible from the UK as it is part of our international service and is not funded by the licence fee. It is run commercially by BBC Worldwide, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the BBC, the profits made from it go back to BBC programme-makers to help fund great new BBC programmes."
