This video is a how-to for making Hatsune Miku real. Well, almost. In the video above, you’ll see someone make a 3D model, animation and code to make Miku appear in a video that is taken in real time.
This is made possible with augmented reality:

Augmented reality (AR) is a field of computer research which deals with the combination of real-world and computer-generated data. At present, most AR research is concerned with the use of live video imagery which is digitally processed and “augmented” by the addition of computer-generated graphics. Advanced research includes the use of motion-tracking data, fiducial marker recognition using machine vision, and the construction of controlled environments containing any number of sensors and actuators.

Cool, huh?☆
