Transforming MacBook shows possible future of Apple robots
If you thought the iPhone was the best Apple could do in terms of innovation, you might want to take a look at one possible future of the MacBook courtesy of the French postal service. La Poste recently released a video depicting a MacBook changing, Transformers style, into a mini-fighter jet to deliver a message.
The special effects along with the viral video shaky-cam treatment give the video clip an extremely realistic look. For the hardcore Mac fans out there, this video is something akin to the holy grail of Apple fantasy gadget footage, check it out here.

I loved this video! I first thought it was just some "little guy" playing with his 3D software to make something awesome. The motion-tracking was great, though I wonder if the shakiness was added in post.

I wonder if this is using augmented reality for tracking. Sweet vid... would like to see this in 1080p.

From what I understand, the orange sticky-notes were used as tracking.
