In another mainstream win for Augmented Reality systems, Topps Baseball cards this year will support Augmented Reality models of famous players.
The new cards use technology from a company called Total Immersion. The tech has reportedly already been used in the theme park and auto design markets for a while. With Topps, the technology allows fans to take the baseball cards, hold them in front of a webcam and on the computer screen they see a 3D avatar of the player on the card, which can be used to play basic games like batting, catching and pitching.
