Introduction to Augmented Reality
Here are links for everything we (me & Itai Asseo, also of Digitas) presented last night for flashcodersny, in the glamorous downstairs basement of Think Coffee.
Big thanks to Itai for co-presenting, to Lisa Larson-Kelley for setting everything up, my lovely wife Fanny for joining us, and for all who endured the stuffy heat of the basement last night.
Theory
A big AR Conference, in Orlando of course
Historical Examples
From that movie, what’s it called again?
How Ubiquitous is AR?
Gratuitous Celebrity Politicians Demoing AR (seemingly unaware that they are doing so)
NYTimes article from 03/09 on Topps baseball cards
Another video of the Topps baseball cards
The Underlying Technology
Many ports of AR ToolKit to other languages
FLARToolKit, the Flash port of AR ToolKit. Almost Everything you see on the web uses this!
A very good diagram of the AR rendering process that I forgot to show last night.
Interactive Demos, you need a webcam and a printer for these
The Katamari Damacy themed 09 NY demo that got everyone excited
Who wants to hold the baby? (fun Boffswana animated critter)
Toyota iqReality Car Demos (downloadable demo)
FLAR Drums (from the prolific folks at squidder.com)
A Funky Brazilian Santa, really.
German Cabriolet demo that doesn’t seem to work, but show nice usage/execution in the video.
Videos
Fiducial markers on T-shirts, squidder again
Little driving car demo, uses marker in interesting manner, squidder again!
AR Tutorials Galore, most modern first
squidder.com: A bunch of great stuff! These guys seem to be posting stuff every day, keep an eye on them!
Great getting started series of tutorials, from Mikko Haapoja
The original tutorial set, haven’t tried it yet, saqoosha.net
Making Custom Fiducial Markers
saqoosha.net again: The AIR app for generating markers (this worked well for us)
Source Code Samples You Can Download and Play With!
Source for the amazing 09 New Year’s demo, good luck getting it to compile!
Boffswana animated critter demo code (this is what we started with)
Squidder.com’s demo of using multiple markers (very easy to compile and set up)
Eric Socolofsky’s very new FLARManager. This sounds awesome, but requires either CS4 or Flex Builder set up to target FP10, so have not been able to play with it yet. (Here are 2 links for how to set up FB3 to target FP10, here and here)
Wait, update: Eric has released a new version of his FLARManager for FP9! See his comment below of follow the link for more info. Thanks, Eric!
Just in right now! Itai sent this to me and it looks very promising, another AR demo with sourcecode.
