Android :: AugSatNav / Augmented Reality Navigation?

Oct 22, 2009

I recently released an app I have been working on for, what seems like, most of the year. It is an augmented reality navigation application. What does that mean? Well, instead of using a 2D map to plot your route it draws a 3D route line upon a live camera view of the road/path ahead. This allows you to point your phone at the road, see which road is highlighted by the "route line" and then simply follow the line to your destination. It was a difficult application to build as the sensors on current phones are very "noisy" which makes it difficult to create augmented reality applications which rely on high accuracy. Nevertheless, I have been able to achieve an acceptable level of accuracy and the app works rather well. It currently supports walking and driving direction, however the driving mode is a BETA preview as although it works, can still be improved. I put together a video to demonstrate the driving mode.

Android :: Using SIFT For Augmented Reality

Aug 17, 2009

I've come across MANY AR libraries/SDKs/APIs, all of them are marker-based, until I found this video, from the description and the comments, it looks like he's using SIFT to detect the object and follow it around. I need to do that for Android, so I'm gonna need a full implementation of SIFT in pure Java. I'm willing to do that but I need to know how SIFT is used for augmented reality first. I could make use of any information you give.

Android :: How To Use Information From Sensor For Augmented Reality?

Jun 21, 2009

Could somebody (Mathias Agopian alias pixelflinger perhaps) please tell me how to use information from sensor for augmented reality stuff. Sorry am not much into graphics stuff but I did try my part to figure stuff out with help of documentation. Didn't miss the note: ""Note: It is preferable to use getRotationMatrix() in conjunction with remapCoordinateSystem() and getOrientation() to compute these values; while it may be more expensive, it is usually more accurate. Tried both. With the above method roll is always negative (in radians) of the roll returned by orientation sensor event. Not the real problem though as these are in the same +/-90 range but negative/opposite. One of these goes against the definition of roll in android documentation. I have the camera on landscape mode and did try with and without the suggestion: ""# Using the camera (Y axis along the camera's axis) for an augmented reality application where the rotation angles are needed : remapCoordinateSystem(inR, AXIS_X, AXIS_Z, outR); Yet no luck. Got a few lessons on quaternions etc. But am sure it is much easier than the mess am getting into. Say, orientation sensor event returns yaw, pitch & roll in say eO[] What are the next steps to get rotation matrix that I could use in opengl to rotate a augmented scene overlapping the camera preview?

Android :: Augmented Reality / Mapping GPS To OpenGL?

Feb 2, 2010

I am writing an Android AR application and have my engine working but it contains a strange behaviour that I can't seem to get fix. I am overlaying an OpenGL surface on the camera image and am placing 3D objects in the view accordingly. If I use dummy data for the location of my AR objects, i.e. LAT 10 LON 10 become x=10 y=10 on the OpenGL surface, then the overlay works perfectly. However, if I use direct GPS coordinates for my LAT and LON (e.g. LAT 12.34567890 LON 100.23456789) then all my objects either move around their location or don't appear at all. I know there are issues around using floating points and the OpenGL framework, but I've been reading around and am still having trouble stopping this behaviour. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I be using a scaling factor between my GPS and openGL surface, if so what values are good? I tried scaling my LAT and LON by 1000000 to eliminate the floating point, but it didn't help and the performance was terrible.

HTC Incredible :: Play Augmented Reality Apps On Dinc?

Jul 7, 2010

Anyone every play with AR apps on their Dinc? I have been screwing around with Layers and its fun and all but not really useful for me. I don't live in an area where I can walk from one place to another. Takes a couple miles in a car to go anywhere and google maps is better for that. I do see a huge world open to gaming and hidden messaging for friends and family kinda like Geocaching but on a much locally and personal level. Leave a msg (either text or video) on your fridge for a family member. Tag your house with a msg for friends to come on in. Messages could be activated when your selected friends are within 100 yard range of your house. Sure you might say why not just send them a text or call them? What if you are not sure who is coming to a party. You can select a groups of friends to auto receive that msg only if they come so you don't look like a loser to everyone who is not coming. What about airports? An airlines can direct passengers to new gates just by AR. Passenger can use his or her phone to follow the highlighted trail leading to their new gate.

Motorola Droid : Reality Check For Root Pros?

Feb 16, 2010

I've been a member here since I got my Droid and this place is great. Quickly I've seen a great divide since the Droid's been rooted and that divide has the tech geeks on one side and the noobs on the other. When the Droid came out everyone wanted this phone to help the Android software to grow as much as possible and were way more helpful.

I am in the middle of the noob/geek divide because I've scoured all the forums/youtube videos imaginable before I rooted. But the tech geeks need to realize is that the noobs need to be able to enjoy their phones just like you so the buzz about Android continues to grow.

Instead of bashing people for rooting with SMu (which i do understand why) help them by showing how to go from Sholes to pete's THE EASY WAY because noobs don't have time to scour these forums and don't get the terminology with rooting the hard way. If they screw up later then they will have no choice but to learn how to fix it themselves and in my experience, people only change/learn when they HAVE to not when they WANT to. Other than that, this is the best Android forum around.

I purchased Copilot, which is alright, but there are a LOT of stuff/addresses it can't find even with the updated maps.So just pretending price doesn't matter for now, what's the best possible GPS for my Android?

HTC Legend :: IGo My Way Navigation For Android

May 27, 2010

Ive just come accross this app and constantly checking how it works and looking for solutions. So if you want to have as little problems as possible read first, then do stuff.Not so long time ago, iGo released their navigation for Android phones. It is a traditional navigation, in which you don't need data connection for downloading maps - they are already on your microSD card This is 10 times better than Google Navigation. I had tested the google nav yesterday on my way back home - the voice commands about an upcoming turn are said once you have passed that turn.. This means you have to be constantly looking on your phone. And with iGo it's a totally different story. It works just like a proper navigation (like TomTom, Garmin, etc.).So lets begin with the step-by-step manual of how to become a happy user of iGO navigation on your Android phone (this works also for other phones, not just HTC Legend).

1) Download the latest version of iGO for Android to your PC - http://www.fileserve.com/file/dpbJy95

2) How to install the app - from Android Market download "Apps Installer". Connect phone to your PC in "Disk Drive" mode and then unzip the iGOMyWay_8.4.2.139242_JMX.zip file into your phone memory card. Dont put it any different folder, keep it in the main directory. Disconnect phone from PC. On your phone, go to Settings->Applications->Put a tick on the "Unknown sources". This will allow to install apps that are not from andoird market. Open Apps Installer and then instal the iGO app.

3) If you need maps for your location - just look in some torrent sites for 'igo maps'. For example try Pirate Bay - The Pirate Bay - The world's most resilient bittorrent site . It is important that you download the R3 version of maps and not R1, as the R1 are for older iGo software versions.

3.1) Once you have maps downloaded to your pc, once again connect your phone to pc and copy maps .fbl files to igocontentmaps and the .poi files to igocontentpoi.

3.2) From my personal experience, you can run maps on iGO from 3 companies - TeleAtlas, TopMap, Navteq. The coverage of each map provider is different depending on country. There is no "the best map company with 100% coverage everywhere". If you need maps for multiple countries, please check the coverage of each provider and choose the one that fits your needs the best. I personally used all these providers for different countries (Lithuania/Latvia/Estonia) and at first all looked good.... But today some maps just dont seam to work. Have sent a email to iGO support team. Will keep u up to date with this issue.

4) If you need speedcamera warnings - check them here - POIplaza - Free Points of Interests (POI) for iGO, Garmin, Sygic, TomTom and other popular navigation systems. Its the best place to find ANY kind of POI in your region.

4.1)Quick manual how to get speedcam warnings running - connect phone to PC. Copy the speedcam.txt file into igocontentspeedcam There should already be 1 file 'speedcamupdates.spud'. In some manuals it says that you have to delete it, in others - that you don't. I left the update file and everything just works fine. When you have the speedcam.txt file in your phone, disconnect it from PC, turn on iGO, then Settings-> Sound and Warnings-> Tick the 'Speedcams'. Your GPS has to be turned on (and have a fixed signal at least to a few satelites) so that you could see the speedcam option in settings.

5) The previous versions of iGO are out-dated and had a few bugs. I personally could not run TeleAtlas and TopMap maps on my device. But when upgradings to the latest version (v8.4.2.139242) all looks good so far.

6.1) For those, who have a small screen phone. anonym.to - free dereferer service This data.gro file should make iGO work on phones with 240x320 and 320x240 screens. Didn't test it. You use it at your own risk!!!

6.1.1) For users of HTC Wildfire - here is a quick guide for you all! iGO for HTC Wildfire Special thanks to our mate indrek1!

6.2) For those, who have a BIG screen phone (Desire, nexus1, etc.) - you might need to use MOTONAV http://forum.ppcwarez.org/viewtopic.php?p=543174#543174 instead of iGO. Its a special build of iGO, but designed for Motorola phones. Big thanks for this program goes to biggdaniell

Android :: Best Practices In App UI Navigation

Jun 2, 2010

I am trying to learn how to do stuff in Android, and I'm not sure of the best way to build the interface.I've been working on porting an iPhone app, which uses navigation controllers and table views for looking at the different sections: basically, someone touches a cell in the table, which drills down to another table. when they touch a cell on that table it drills down to a webview that displays the information.I want to do something similar for the android app, but I don't know how, or if there is a better way native to Android. I've figured out how to use the webview to my purposes, but moving forward and backward in the table tree is unclear.

Android :: GPS Navigation Without Google Maps

Nov 1, 2009

I'd like to show you off-road GPS navigator utility, created for active people. I like no-map Garmin GPS handy navigators, so I created software, that has most functions of such navigator. TripComputer records tracks of your trips and stores your interesting waypoints. You can view them on map view, see stats like distances, speed, time, altitute graph, bearing, azimuth, and many more. Also, if you have internet connection, you can send your selected waypoints and find waypoints sent by others,to use in you own trips.

At this time, TripComputer does not use maps - because in off-road areas, maps are useless. However, topo maps will be supported in future versions. Also, I'm working on GPX files and some geocaching support.
