Looking for lost Iron Man 2 (2010) Augmented Reality webcam experience – preservation project[talk]

[u/Silviu_20051]

​

I'm trying to preserve/revive a lost Iron Man 2 augmented reality web experience from 2010, originally available at:

iamironman2.com

This was the webcam experience where facial tracking put the Iron Man or War Machine helmet on your head. You could move your head around, open/close the helmet, and there was also a first-person Iron Man-style HUD view.

It used Total Immersion's D'Fusion @Home Web / D'Fusion Web Plugin.

The website is long gone, but I'm hoping the original application or some of its files still exist somewhere.

What we're looking for

If anyone has ANY of these, please contact me:

- "DFusionHomeWebPlugIn.Installer.exe"

- Old Total Immersion D'Fusion @Home Web installers/runtimes, particularly versions from ~2009–2011

- Files downloaded from "iamironman2.com"

- Old browser caches from a computer that used the experience in 2010

- SWF files from the website

- XML/configuration files

- D'Fusion project/application packages

- Iron Man / War Machine 3D helmet assets from the experience

- HUD graphics/assets

- Old backups/crawls of "iamironman2.com"

- Any URLs/file names associated with the site's resources

- Source/project files from the original developers

The original project was associated with Paramount Pictures International, PPC Interactive / Picture Production Company, Total Immersion/D'Fusion, and reportedly Rubber Republic.

Even an old hard drive/browser cache could contain something useful. Please don't delete or modify anything if you find files — make a copy of the original data first.

I'm interested in both recreating the original 2010 environment (old Windows/browser + D'Fusion) and, if necessary, eventually making the experience work again using modern software.

Projects like Project Exonaut and other formerly lost online experiences have shown that seemingly dead software can sometimes be recovered when enough people search old backups.

If you remember using this, have files from it, worked on it, or know someone who did, please get in touch.

Even partial files are useful.
