Augmented Vlaardingen, originally uploaded by Platipus – Software Inside.
The future Location Based Augmented Reality applications (AR) have to be realised with a combination of location and orientation sensors and computer vision. Such a combination would allow very accurate outdoor location based AR applications.
Metaio is bringing us one step closer to this future with their dedicated hardware Augmented Reality Engine.
Bring the nearest (Dutch) TNT-post-mailbox to life

This is great. I’m pleasantly surprised by this Augmented Reality application. The app brings your TNT mailbox to life! How cool is that?!
Check out the video. You’ll be amazed.
Now that’s a fun way of storytelling!

Sophie draws within the lines!

Today I discovered that my little daughter has secretly been perfecting the art of drawing within the lines. I’m very proud.
Look at those stars!
Path to Enlightenment
July 9, 2010
I’m a big fan of Chet Haase and his brilliant blog Codedependent. He makes very entertaining instructional videos about coding on the Flex 4 framework. I occasionally spend some time on his blog getting to know the new features in the Flex 4 framework. And time and time again he has managed to motivate me to get back to work and use my skills in a playful manner.
A while a go I watched this gripping and suspenseful video about creating a simple drawing application. The video talks about the new “Path” object in Flex 4. The Path object is an easy tool to save and manipulate line data. (This simple demo uses only simple straight line segments but this object could be used for bezier curves as well.)
Anyway I was fascinated by the small amount of code needed for this application. I downloaded the code and played with it. Here’s my interpretation of the Path to Enlightenment. It’s in the spirit of “less is more”. Draw some lines and wait a few seconds to see what I mean. Your lines will be enlighted and stripped down to their bare essentials.
