MSR Tuva Project: Augmented Reality in a Video Player
Preamble
When I studied at the Physics and Mathematics School, and then at the Institute, I used the famous lectures of Professor Richard Feynman in Physics to study physics. Professor Feynman worked for the Manhattan project, then at Los Alamos, and taught at Cornell University for several years, after which he settled at the California Polytechnic Institute (Caltech). Professor Feynman won many awards, including the Nobel Prize in Physics and the Albert Einstein Gold Award.
Until now, with great pleasure, I remember his unusual way of telling just about complicated things.
Tuva project
Microsoft Research (MSR) is developing the Tuva project, which creates the effect of augmented reality by analyzing the video stream and structuring the material, then obtaining related information from the network and displaying this information next to the video itself on the page.

As you can see, the lectures of Professor Feynman did not just please me; MSR researchers decided to test their development in action on Feynman’s video lectures on physics, which he read, including at the famous Cornell University.
I strongly recommend to watch the videos themselves (for the second hour I can’t tear myself away from the lecture about the theory of gravity, although I graduated from the institute a year ago) and on this player. This is really interesting!
