Hi everybody! I'm working on an Augmented Reality problem that involves math too complex for me. To be honest, I'm not sure there's a solution to this problem. Any help is of course welcome (even if this help consists in telling me "Impossible, you cannot go from an N dimension to an N+1 dimension). I would like to place a 3D object on a photo uploaded by a user. I have the intuition that by asking the user to place the origin and the axes of the coordinate data system, specifying for each of the axes a "real" length from a known reference frame, it could be possible to determine the sequence of transformations that led to such a projection of the 3D coordinate system. And deduce the position of the corresponding camera etc... to get the correct parameters to simulate the presence of a 3D object on a picture. This could of course only work if the user is able to draw the 3 axes and define their real length on the picture. Here is a nice drawing of the goal I would like to achieve : The user has entered the 3 axis on the projection picture, and thanks to known distance, has dimensioned them. The magic of math goes through there... We are able to draw a 3D object in this scene : here is a perfectly drawn unit cube on the XOZ plane? Here is a PG that reproduces the first part (the data entered by the user are directly entered in the code? https://playground.babylonjs.com/#2XZ6M5 I don't own that background, I just needed an image to show the problem. I thank you VERY MUCH in advance for your help ! PS : I know that the field of view of the camera is something to be taken in account as well, but I think a simple slider may allow user to change it to match picture's fov.

Hey, just a quick question are there any plans to support AR Core or AR Kit with babylon.js?

I am working for a Wearable Computing and Augmented Reality Startup in Bremen, Germany: http://www.ubimax.de For improvements of our (PIXI.js powered) Web-Editor that configures our Augmented Reality solutions we are looking for a Web Application Developer (m/f) to join our team in Bremen (job permit for the EU is required). It says full-time in the job description but students looking for an internship are also very welcome! We are a team of people from all over the globe, so everyone in our team speaks English fluently but German is a big plus. The Job description (in German) is attached to this post. Please apply with your full resume including school and other certificates as well as code examples (e.g. github links) and references to [email protected] . Feel free to ask me for further details on the job. 162810_Ubimax_Stellenauschreibung_WebApplicationDeveloper.pdf

Looks like Apple will be finally adding webRTC to its browsers. http://www.zdnet.com/article/apple-quietly-slips-webrtc-audio-video-into-safaris-webkit-spec/ This means we could combine Babylon.js with a marker tracker, or natural-features tracker to make some neat augmented reality websites

(also on Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7899214) Hey guys, I posted about this a few weeks ago but the games weren't quite ready yet so it didn't get much attention. This time I made a video ! Please have a look at http://short.epfl.ch/paprika/ to test the games and know more about the project! I hope you like the games, and I would really appreciate any feedback concerning the framework itself, any sort of informal evaluation really. So, the story: As part of a school project I've been working on a adapting an AR markers library called Chilitags into a very simple, very easy to use, more abstract JavaScript framework called Paprika. In short, what it does is allow you to use AR markers as input for your web application (with property binding and condition triggers for position, rotation, specific orientation, visibility, card flipping, tilting, stacking.) I created 3 games/demos with Phaser which are far from perfect, but serve as experiments to test paper interaction. I hope you enjoy these and I'd love to hear what you think of them! Asteroids:http://chili-epfl.github.io/paprika/phaser_demo_3.htmlIn this game you control the orientation and color mode of a spaceship using a card. Plays like Asteroids, with color mode mechanics inspired by Ikaruga.It uses one 2-sided card and tests rotation tracking + flipping detection.Traffic Management: http://chili-epfl.github.io/paprika/phaser_demo_2.htmlIn this game you control which lane gets a green light at 4 crossroads, the objective being to let all cars through in the shortest time possible without letting (too many of) them crash.It uses four 1-sided cards and tests orientation.there's also a simpler, 1 crossroad version of it here http://chili-epfl.github.io/paprika/phaser_demo_1.html)Ball Maze: chili-epfl.github.io/paprika/phaser_demo_4.htmlIn this game you control a ball inside a baze by tilting a piece of paper as you would the ball maze. the objective is to get to the goal without hitting the walls in the shortest time possible.It uses a 1 sided card and tests tilting and tilt orientation.

Hey everyone! As part of a school project I've been working on a adapting an augmented reality software library called Chilitags into a very simple, very easy to use, more abstract JavaScript framework called Paprika. In short, what it does is allow you to use AR markers as input for your web application (with triggers for position, rotation, specific orientation, visibility, card flipping.) More info on it here: http://chili-epfl.github.io/paprika/ (I would really appreciate if anyone wanted to give a shot at making a small game using Paprika, or adapting one of your existing games/demos to use it, as any feedback from developers would help me with further development. Don't hesitate to contact me privately or through this post if interested.) Anyways, my approach was to implement paper input functionality along with 2 game demos created with Phaser. These demos are far from perfect games, but were mostly done to experiment with the interaction and test the different functionality developed for the framework. But hey I'd still love to hear what you think of them! (ideally you'd have to print the marker cards but there are PNG images which you can download to your phone and show your webcam, detection is pretty robust and works just as good either way.)
