just got my incredible today which btw I am loving it. However I have run into an annoying issue, Layer Reality will not install. I downloaded the app from the Android store and while it appears in my download list completed it will not install saying (download unsucessfull) after around 2 seconds or so. I am really wanting to check this app out.

Ok so I know many are having battery issues. You, like me, probably have more battery life than you think. This is because the application layer of the phone is not receiving the hardware layer's data correctly (hold talk button, end call button, and middle button upon starting up your turned-off phone, this boots in test mode which shows you hardware layer battery power, aka the correct battery life estimate). It's causing another problem because some applications can't be run when the phone THINKS it's about to die.

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 2 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.

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.

looks really good folks!
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've got a standard RelativeLayout laying out my Buttons and TextAreas. What I want to do now is be able to draw various sparks, flying cows etc. at arbitrary places on the screen on top of the whole thing. What's the best way to do this? Should I override onDraw() on the containing View and draw after calling super.onDraw()? Or is there some better way of drawing a layer on top?

Maybe it is already possible or someone already is developing this, but here it is: Add a selectable Layer to the Google Maps on the Android system that integrates with the Contacts list and shows them in Google Maps. Only contacts with an adress can be shown in Maps and have to be in a certain format ofcourse. Also, you have entered a contact's adress information, from the Contact's menu with 'Call' and 'Text you should be able to use 'Navigate to', which is a Google Maps route from your current location to this person's house.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm starting my first Android Application and I'm trying to figure out the best way to implement an RPC layer to communicate with my Tomcat server. Basically, I've got POJOs on the Android Client and on the Server. I simply would like to seserialize the POJOs on Android, send up an HTTP Post, deserialize on the server, do some work, then serialize a POJO response back down to the client. I've seen a number of posts referencing JSON and XML but nothing really definitive.
Further clouding the matter is the different Android SDKs out there that seem to have different levels of support for each. Obviously, if Android has a native library that works well, I'd like to use that. Additionally, I'd like something that could work with my existing POJOs without a great deal of trouble. What are the best practices for this sort of thing? Can anyone send me to any tutorials that have some solid examples on how to get this implemented and going?

I want to create a communication layer in android. The layer will communicate with server asynchronously. Multiple activities should be able to call methods of the communication layer. The layer will get messages from the server (it is not important for the scope of this question how) and should be able to tell activities to do some work based on these messages.
How should I implement this? Should I do this using android Service?
The main questions that I need to answer are: How can activities access the layer? How can the layer access activities? How can i make the communication layer live for the lifetime of the application?
Is there any Java ME compatibility layer for Android, which makes porting Java ME (aka. J2ME) applications easier? I mean a third party class library which redirects calls to internal Android API.
