Are you familiar with Augmented Reality, the real-time blending of computer generated graphics and an object in the real world? Well a group of researches at Georgia Tech have finally taken the field, which to date has been dominated by advertisers, to its logical conclusion: shooting zombies from a helicopter!

Unfortunately it looks like ARhrrr! (get it?) is not publicly available, but I see no reason why it’ll remain as such in the future. So, unless you have access to the Augmented Environments Lab at Georgia Tech, you may not want to watch the demonstration embed below. It’s cruel punishment withholding this much awesome.

Other than the fact it would kill my back hovering over a table like that, that looks pretty awesome.
