Project: Keep in Mind We will be using geolocation markers. This may impact your project choice. Location detection inside buildings may not work. Keep images/models small. Consider content density. There should be sufficient content in an area to keep your user interested. Slide 2 Project: Keep in Mind Integrate actions and animations where it makes sense. Make it worth your users' time. Make it worth your time. Slide 3 Layar Is an augmented reality browser, not an app dedicated to a specific content set Merges the picture captured by your devices camera with computer-generated graphics Slide 4 Some Other AR Browsers Wikitude http://www.wikitude.com Junaio http://www.junaio.com Argon http://argon.gatech.edu Slide 5 Layar Organizes content in layers Each layer consists of several pieces of content that have been associated with a specific geographic location (a Point of Interest, or POI) Slide 6 To make Layar work you need: Layar app on your mobile device The Layar server A data store and provider (we use a local, modified version of the PorPOISe open source project) Slide 7 How Does Layar Work? Slide 8 1. A user launches Layar Reality Browser on a supported mobile device. 2. Layar Client will send a request to the Layar Server. 3. Based on the request, the Layar Server will retrieve layer definitions from the publishing website. Slide 9 How Does Layar Work? 4. A list of retrieved layers will be sent by the Layar Server and displayed on the Layar Client. 5. The user launches a layer from this list 6. A getPOIs request is sent to the Layar Server. Slide 10 How Does Layar Work? 7. The Layar Server forwards the Layer Service Provider of that layer. 8. The Layer Service Provider returns AR content based on the Developer API (getPOIs response) back to the Layar Server. Slide 11 How Does Layar Work? 9. The Layar Server validates the getPOIs response and sends it back to the Layar Client. 10. The Layar Client displays the getPOIs response nicely to the User. Slide 12 How Does Layar Work? App uses: GPS and/or cell/wi-fi triangulation to determine location Compass to determine the direction in which you are pointing your device Gyroscope to determine if you are pointing it up, straight or down Based on this information, the app calculates the correct position and orientation of digital objects on the screen Slide 13 Slide 14 Click to edit the outline text format Second Outline Level Third Outline Level Fourth Outline Level Fifth Outline Level Sixth Outline Level Seventh Outline Level The IKBLC Library Channel Channel can be accessed by searching for title, keyword or publisher.
