So after deciding to change the current project from a using a physical environment and spoken words to create digital content in the form of tweets I have decided to stick with the idea of physical and digital interaction and came up with the idea of developing an augmented reality photo album.
The idea behind this project is to still take digital web content and display it in a physical form, in this case a printed book. I intend to use web images rather than tweets to create an online photo album, the likes of flickr, photo bucket etc, but be able to display and store the web content within a physical book that can be consumed and distributed in a traditional way.
I hope to print the book with a number of printed AR Makers that will constantly update depending on content being published to the web. This will enable a physical album to be constantly updated with current web content despite the fact the book itself is in finished form.
Augmented reality is a method that will allow the book to remain in its original form and be viewed via a webcam or camcorder to display the content within it. This also looks at the idea of unauthorised use of content and restricted use of content in terms of the physical book itself will feature black and white markers that really don't mean anything when viewed on its own, but place it under a webcam and view it via that it will reveal digital web content that can be interchangeable dependant on the current content published to the web.
Below is an example of a 3D model being projected onto an AR marker:
