The One Show AR 

Personally, I think the whole Augmented Reality thing is going to get played out real soon (if it hasn’t already). Which is why I’m glad I had the opportunity to build this before the huge wave of AR widgets, apps, and sites hits the masses. This landing page, startwithapencil.com, I built for McCann NY in support of the One Show.

I used FlarToolKit in conjunction with Papervision3D. On top of that, I created the foundation of a FlarToolKit wrapper that introduces stabilization to reduce jitter and access points to retrieve the the orientation of the FlarBaseNode. I also created a new DisplayObject3D class that gave me the ability to render the stream of gold. All of these will get their own blog post in the near future. For now, check out the site and you can check out the new code base in progress in my google code repo.

AR From Across the Pond 

Looks like my fellow McCannite devs in Belgium beat us too it. If you want to try it out, download the QR code, then hit this page to launch the application. Good job guys.

Augemented Reality 

Today I spent some time playing with FLARToolKit, an AS3 port of the C based ARToolKit. If you have a webcam, launch the application, download and print this QR code PDF and place in front of your camera.

I will post source once I clean it up.
