Augmented Reality and WebGL

For a project I was reviewing a number of WebGL engines. As WebGL is rather similar to OpenGL ES 2.0 there are numerous reasons to use an engine rather than rolling your own code. And there is plenty of choice of WebGL engines. Also reviews of WebGL engines can be found aplenty on the web, with varying depth and also scope here and here. Now, I would like to throw one in the mix that focuses on AR in conjunction with WebGL.

Happy New Year

Winter Augmented Reality Meeting 2013

we would like to invite you to the 8th Winter Augmented Reality Meeting (WARM2013) to be held on February 13-14, 2013 in Graz, Austria. WARM is a workshop plus optional skiing event (February 15-17, 2013). It was founded in 2005 and has since grown in numbers of attendees each year.

Video Capture Across Devices and Platforms

Working with AR technology starts rather mundane with getting some sort of video from a video source, usually an USB webcam or built in camera in a phone. One would believe that is the easiest part. But trust me it is not. There are more APIs and approaches out there then you care to learn about. Everybody trying to do things different or easier. And for what is worth it, the underlying device drivers are doing the "right thing" sometimes, but not always. One has to deal with threads that are spawned by the underlying APIs and whatever format the frames come up.

2nd IEEE workshop on Solution for Augmented Reality Authoring

Dear friends and colleagues. Please consider sending your WiP or position papers to 2nd IEEE workshop on Solution for Augmented Reality Authoring. It is the second installment of this workshop and I am certain we have plenty to work on.

We are delighted to have Ken Perlin as a keynote speaker. Please have a look at the schedule. Looking forward to meet you in Atlanta.

libTAP is now TacitPixel

(or aka. TwistedPair) - got my sourceforge site renamed and hopefully upgraded to the new system. Wow still the last snapshot from 2004 floating around there. In the meantime l am cleaning up source, mostly removing all #if defined(__sgi). It is somewhat sad, but I didn't have access to a machine with IRIX for over five years. And we are moving on. iPhone and Android support are on its way and the renderer abstraction looks already amazing.

Happy New Year

To everybody out there. A happy and successful year 2012!

Winter Augmented Reality Meeting - WARM'12

we have another Winter Augmented Reality Meeting in Graz at Graz University of Technology in 2012 - please check the WARM'12 website. I think it will be a terrific event. Hope to see you in Graz. If you have any question please contact me.

And a quick update. We are delighted to have Prof. Tom Drummond as our keynote speaker. Submission for workshop talks extended to 30 December!

CMake Toolchain Collection

as I am silently hacking away on osgART and some other software for iOS and Android I also took a bit of a d-tour to create some cleaner toolchain files for CMake. These toolchains try to be cleaner and avoid anoyances as using the Android build system for instance (yes you can do make -j 12 with these) or letting Xcode 4.2 do what it does. Please clone, contribute and report problems via GitHub
