Mobile AR Setup
Notes regarding the mobile AR setup.
Improve ...
... quality of interaction
This targets mostly the calibration and registration issues of
the whole setup. I want to take the following steps to improve that.
- use more automated calibration routines :
- calibration for the glove offset using artoolkit for tracking of gloves
(done by Flo)
- calibration for virtual camera offset using artoolkit (done by Flo)
- calibration of orientation tracker - transform coordinate system + on
the fly offset (like Joe did)
- calibrate HMD with a static calibration setup like a wall pattern etc.
- calibrate all the tracking cameras using artoolkit calibration
... performance
Can we improve the performance ? Well we should try... some points to do that
:
- add support for non RGB formats to ARToolKit WDM driver. However let the
DirectShow graph do the transformation to RGB.
- opentracker event based model could reduce amount of time spend in the opentracker
just checking modules. However, I doubt this has a large impact anyway.
... demonstrations
The following applications are currently available, developed
or planned.
- AEKI - maintenance example application
- signpost - wide range location based application
- arlibrary - close range location based application
- fingerfarben - collaborative glove application
