    Nostalgia fans can now recreate old toys and gadgets from their past in augmented reality — and get them to work just as they once did.

    Whether it's a doll with limbs that move a certain way, or a gadget that plays video and music, new software tech called InteRecon can recreate it virtually.

    The researchers are proposing this as a better way to preserve the memories of your beloved toys and other personal items, as well as to help present objects for closer examination to museum visitors.

    InteRecon tech is short for Interactive Reconstruction and involves recreating the object in 3D with added controls so it can be interacted with.

    The interface has buttons and knobs and sliders that actually work in augmented reality.

    The user then adds embedded content like videos and music that were part of the original object.

    So for instance am old TV could play time period correct programmes

    The team behind it from the USA’s Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Switzerland’s ETH Zurich and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Guangzhou says everyone has some memorable items whether gifts, travel souvenirs or childhood toys.

    Whether it's a doll with limbs that move a certain way, or a gadget that plays video and music, new software tech called InteRecon can recreate it virtually.

    The researchers are proposing this as a better way to preserve the memories of your beloved toys and other personal items, as well as to help present objects for closer examination to museum visitors.

    InteRecon tech is short for Interactive Reconstruction and involves recreating the object in 3D with added controls so it can be interacted with.

    The interface has buttons and knobs and sliders that actually work in augmented reality.

    The user then adds embedded content like videos and music that were part of the original object.
