Amazing GE Augmented Reality Commercial

It's been just under two weeks since we told you about Topps' journey into augmented reality with their new line of baseball cards.

Now, General Electric has come out with a pretty amazing advertisement to promote its Smart Grid windmill technology.

When you log onto the GE website, you can do try this yourself.  Simply, print out a special screen that resembles a solar panel, turn on your webcam, and aim the paper at your webcam.

The smart grid takes over and the display should automatically open right on your screen.  You can even blow into your microphone to see the turbines spin faster.

We say - WIN!

Try it for yourself right here, or just watch the video below...
