Augmented reality for beginners

By kesava on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 17:02
Hi,this is kesava, i had a question that by using qualcomm we can develop any type of application like image recognization and gps based?

1)I am asking that i need to change the virtual content i.e googles from time to time. is it possible? 2)How can i store the virtual content of various no of googles? 3) I dont want to change the color of the virtual object but it should change the new virtual content wat i had stored

I should warn you that this stuff isn't easy. You really need to work through the sample applications and understand the code there before you can continue.

Ok, my question is 1) Is it possible to add my own virtual content, such as googles by using qcar sdk? 2)I can use htc desire? for developing the above application

Yes and yes. But it sounds as though you really don't know what you're doing. You're going to need experience with Java, C++, JNI, Android and openGL ES to create your application. This stuff is really not as easy as clicking and dragging things together. Just take some time and go read the "

my ecllipse ide for c/c++ is in local disk (d:) drive, remaining jdk,cygwin,andriodsdk,and qualcomm ar sdk are in local disk(c:) drive is there any problem if the above softwares are like that?

I think this should work, though I haven't tested that setup before. Just make sure that you point Eclipse to the correct Android location (Preferences > Android). - Kim

Which version of the SDK are you using? We just released version 0.10.0 yesterday, before that the version number was 0.9.7. If you haven't grabbed the latest you might want to go ahead and do that, the Eclipse build is a little simpler. - Kim

Compiliation is done i.e ndk-build is ok 1) i found apk in the bin folder, i can execute in my mobile? 2) i am unable to see the targets, in ths step of "create android apk"

If you are not seeing any Build Targets on the New Android Project screen, there are two possible problems: 1) You have not installed any platforms for Android. In Eclipse, go to Window > Android SDK and AVD Manager.

Sorry, I don't really understand the question. If you are asking which programs you should use for development, then the answer is this: Use Eclipse for your Java programming, and for building the application and running it on your Android device.

Thanks kim, My question is 1) when i am tracking the video using the mobile phone connected to the pc ,long time should be tracked,how it can done? and 2)how much duration can a mobile phone will record the live video for htc desire?

I don't understand the first question. For the second, I can't tell you how long the battery will last for any given device. Running the camera preview will certainly have some small impact on battery life, but I don't believe we have measured this. - Kim

You need to connect your mobile to the PC just to install the application. After that, you can disconnect the mobile from the PC and run the application standalone on the device. - Kim
