Well, I guess the title says it all. Leaf++ is the brain child of Italian artist Salvatore Iaconesi that couples together visual search and social networks to augment (you guessed it) leaves. A user can leave (no pun intended) a message on a leaf, to be seen later by other users scanning the same leaf type.
Watching the above video, it seems that some people get high on leaves.
from the video, the idea seems to be interesting... but there is no data to understand if it actually works or not... IMHO, it would be better to have data about statistics of the performance, possibly with respect to lighting condition, type of leaves, colors, etc., instead of people walking with a leaf on the head or moving the camera in circles
:) well it's art *and* a science project: we'll get some factual data in just a bit, as we're presenting the thing officially at ISEA 2011 in Istanbul this september, and on several publications. So now we were just tired of coding and went round with leaves on our heads :) hope you enjoy the results in september: let me know!
We, at Augmented Times, believe that augmented reality (AR) is the next big paradigm shift. Connecting the world wide web with the physical world and the many objects, places and humans it contains, AR is both a disruptive technology and an exciting vision of the future.
This blog's goal is to document AR taking over our lives, but it needs your help. Have an augmented reality related news or story? Published an interesting paper about AR? Have something to say about this site or the AR community in genereal? Tell us about it, at rouli.net ~at~ gmail.com

well, it's art, not a science project :)
