8- Augmented Reality - Final Submission

AR Band from Gavin Jones on Vimeo.

7- Augmented Reality - Testing Models

here are the other models i tested unsuccessfully with the augmented software. these models did show up just without animation. i am not using these in my presentation as part of the simulation because they are of different modelling styles and one has no material.

6- Augmented Reality - The Band

Here is the band together currently with no music in the background, i will overlay this Video onto a stage ready for my presentation

5- Augmented Reality - Software

The First sofware I tried was the basic FLAR toolkit, after modifying the actionscript code to input my model and use the correct pattern i was having little success getting my models to work. This could be due to the fact the format "collada" does not support the parameters used within the model. This left me to explore other methods.

The next piece of software i tried was ARMirai, i was confident with this software as i heard a few of my fellow students say that they were successfull.After esporting my model in the requires "ive" format i changed the route directory of the file to fit my own and booted up ARMirai, the model came up missing everything including its eyes apart from its shoulders and head.

I managed to get some sample models up and running withought animations so for my presentation i will use them to disply the size and form they will take and then play the video of simulation of AR Band using my origional models.

7 - Idat 210 - Further Exploration

In order to get a good view of the use of gps to track journeys I wanted to research who has used it and how they have implemented it.

This is one example of a journey over a mountain trail. It shows the gps over a 3d plane. Which is an interesting way of dealing with gps, quite a lot of gps tracks i have seen before have been using flat surfaces, this gives a lot more depth and idea into how the journey went.

6 - Idat 210 - Proposal Discussion

After discussing my ideas with Ben I have decided to go along with idea three as I think it has a more conceptual merit. Idea goes further: Key Logging a journey through digital space and replicating the visual data into a path which I will overlay onto a map, I will then explore the physical space using the map logging what I see with the use of photos.

In the second two weeks of the Easter holidays I am going to Oban (Scotland) for a 2 week holiday. I have not been there before so need an interesting way to discover the space. My digital journey will be of me digitally exploring the space, finding more information about Oban and what it has to offer including looking for photos and images.

This will be overlayed onto a map of Oban. Using this map I will create a physical journey through the space and take different photographs of my journey which i will then overlay onto the map.

Different ways of notating the space:

- Time
- Altitude
- Light
- Temperature

I could then do a comparison between the digital journey and the physical journey, in the digital journey only the time will change unlike in the physical journey where lots of elements are changing.
