Augmented Reality on the N900
finally I reached a stage where I could upload my small augmented reality app to extras-devel, so all those who asked for it can now play with it. But be aware that it is in extras-devel for a reason. In case you are wondering what I am writing about, here is a video of the demo:
in order to make it work, you will have to print the artoolkitplus markers. Furthermore there are these controls:
- scale the objects using the volume buttons
- select one of the objects for scaling by tapping on it
- tapping on the palette symbol triggers annotating by drawing on the screen
- tapping on the sun symbol fixes the sun to the current device position
- once fixed the shadows can be rotated using the arrow keys

Thank you for making this public! Great work!

Thx! this app amazed all of my co-workers.

are you using Artoolkit and/or OpenCV? Are these packages available for Maemo 5 also?
June 16th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
I am using artoolkitplus, which I also packaged for maemo5.

Awvsome!
Where do we get more markers? I only see two houses…

there are no more markers yet – maybe in a later update..

Interesting there was one of these markers in the back of the Metro free newspaper (UK) today but ARapp did not seem to pick up anything from the picture in the newspaper… but i had the other 2 markers from this web site working nearby
Here is an online copy of the paper, goto to back page (page 60) and there it is.

Basically the advert in that page takes to the following page:

might be of interest to some of you
by the way enter some fake data if you dont want to give your real details

Hey awesome work, really excited about more people taking on and applying the technique! Just tried it out, here are some issues (that you’re probably aware of):
Sometimes the video is very green; the markers can be pretty jumpy; and I can’t seem to fix new sun positions, as in when i press the sun icon, the shadow is not repositioned.
Thanks again!

disregard the shadows issue.

Yo, first of all awesome what you’re doing. I already saw an early demonstration-video and i’m really curious to try this on my N900.
The Problem is that it’s not working. This should be no offense at all, just to let you know. The app is trying to load when I launch it from the menu, and when i manually start it with /opt/arapp/arapp.sh from the terminal, i can see that it loads casa.obj and farm.obj and then it segfaults…
If I’m making any sense, and you’re interested in solving the problem with me, you can contact me via mail
greetings.

It works once, then after trying again, the app just closes itself. After restarting it works again for one time only.
Cool app!!

Kudos to you, it works fine here from the desktop shortcut every time provided the lens cover is always open, although sometimes Live Focus jumps into the foreground. Great job, waiting for some more markers support to dust off my printer again.

works perfect. very nice demonstration of Augmented reality.
were can you find more markers? I got two houses when i printed the PDF and no tree.
June 18th, 2010 at 9:24 pm
I intentionally left out the tree as it kills performance. So currently only the available two markers are recognised. Maybe I will eventually add a configuration file where you can specify your own models..

Good job !
Levelhead would be great on N900 :
