Papervision – Augmented Reality by Digital Pictures

Papervision – Augmented Reality (extended) from dpinteractive on Vimeo.

Using a webcam and flash, we’ve taken our Papervision character from the desktop to the desk. A new and exciting way to interact with your flash content. The possibilities are wide open…

Those looking for the source code, you can grab it here.

It’s a basic modification of the “SimpleCube” sample file that comes with the FLARToolkit, swapping the cube for an md2 model in Papervision.

To compile you will need to download the latest Papervision and the FLARToolkit library.

Finally you will need an MD2 model file (quake2 model) of some sort – plenty of which you can find here.

Adobe Max – Day 2 round-up

Day 2 was much shorter for me. Last night I had a bout of insomnia and didn’t fall asleep until after 4am. There was no way to make it to the general session, let alone my morning session. But I had plenty of time to make it to my only workshop: Air Boot Camp.

Air Boot Camp

The room was *huge* with seating for 500 or more. The session started a little slow, but picked up quickly once everyone was familiar with the basic “new file…” process. We flew through several projects, most of which took only a few lines of code:

• Hello World pt 1 - basic AIR publishing
• Hello World pt 2 - exporting, signing, and distributing AIR apps (via Export… Release Build)
• Chromeless apps – editing the Adobe AIR application descriptor file template (i.e. foo-app.xml) to change settings
• Simple webcam display – quick & easy using flash.media.Camera;
• Fullscreen AIR apps - StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE and showStatusBar=”false“;
• AIR as web browser – aka mx:HTML (tooooooo easy)
• Rich text editor - including saving and loading files to local disk using File and FileStream
• “ScotchesIDrankLastNight” – aka drag and drop lists using ArrayCollection
• “Wines” – binding an external XML to a datagrid component
• “myContactDB” – create a basic SQL-based local database of contact names

All in all, one of the best sessions I’ve attended so far, but everything else was presentation-based. After the workshop, I waited around for 30 min until I could attend the Max Awards and Sneak Peeks, the latter being everyone’s fav show-off session.

Sneak Peek

The sneek peek was divided into 3 groups: clients, tools, and services. Each group had 3-4 presenters. It went pretty fast, so I can only give a quick overview of what the advanced labs are working on…

Clients

• (group favorite) Torrent-like Flash P2P distributed live video streaming
• Nitro – shared widgets (portablewidgets-at-adobe.com)
• Durango – shared components between AIR apps
