Forget about losing your car at the airport parking, shopping mall or outside the football stadium. Car Finder AR is an augmented reality app that proyects the position of your car on top of the camera view of your mobile phone. Use augmented reality view, Google Maps view or RADAR view to find your car. Just park, open Car Finder AR, go to the menu and save your current position, that's it!

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.

View 11 Replies View RelatedCould 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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAnyone 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.

My Moment wont render the image from the camera correctly it's all green and staticy looking. sorry for the terrible description. Has anyone tried an AR or 3rd party camera app? Or can you and then tell me if your moment is working fine with it or not?

I tried the latitude app that came with the DX, but its accuracy isn't so hot.
Is there an app that wll show you how far another phone is, and what direction?
(Latitude said that I was 1/2 mile away, when in fact I was standing right next to her.)
The spoken directions for her to get to me were a hoot though!

Can I expect an upgrade in that manner or has it pretty much been the same technology for several years?

View 49 Replies View RelatedI didn't at first, but I have been for at least the last week. I'm not entirely certain why, though. I used to be below 30% at the end of every day (1.5 and 2.1 OTA), regardless of how much/little I used the phone. Often having to put it on the charger when I got home from work just to make it through the evening. Lately, I've been ending my day (15+ hours off the charger) at 50-60% remaining, consistently. I'm curious to know if others have experienced this, or if it's just something weird with my phone. AFAIK, most of the data sync settings are exactly the same as they were.
Interestingly, I am leaving 3g and GPS on always, now, where I used to turn them on only when needed. Also, it seems that my mail and weather widgets are not updating as consistently, which could be leading to some increases. I have used the "end all" in System Panel a few times when the battery seemed to be draining extra fast, but I have my mail, weather, sms, etc. Excluded, so I don't know if that's it.
I removed the People widget. From the main screen, scroll right. Hold down the People widget and remove it. I was getting 10 hours daily off a full charge. Today I got up to 14. Normally I lose 10% per hour. In the morning, I was losing 5%. I was hoping to double my 10 hours and get to 20 but I did make it to 14.
I was also losing 15-20% in the first hour battery drain. After removing the people widget, I only lost 3%! Previously, I tried everything. Turned off GPS, formatted SD card, hard reset, changed from GSM to CDMA, charging while the phone was off/on repeatedly. I have hardware version 003.
I am curious to see if anyone has had improved battery life by disabling htc sense and running stock android 2.1. Since I purchased my evo I have been running sense and just recently disabled it from running by default and set it to run the original home by default. I have seen a little bit of battery improvement but not enough to come to any good conclusion just yet. To me sense makes the phone a lot better mostly because of the widgets so I'll end up switching it back after a while but I was just curious to see if there would be any major difference as far as battery life goes.
