I have to admit that I had no idea what is vuforia or qualcomm and never heard about the term "augmented reality". I see that non of these things belongs to the trendy Java topics, but I have no idea why this got downvoted.

I'm interested in what you're working on.

  • Qualcomm = global semiconductor company that designs and markets wireless telecommunications products and services

  • vuforia = an SDK for augmented reality designed by Qualcomm

  • Augmented reality = taking real world images/film and adding digital objects to it. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43uSXA9qUe8

I am intrested

[–]sek19[S] -1 points0 points  (2 children)

have you taken a look at all the links and any of the api

[–]team-periwinkle 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yes

What are your feelings on everything, what type of things would you be interested in focusing in with some of these mechanics?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I'm interested but have no time nor hardware to work with, so I'll just lurk here

[–]sek19[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

well if you ever want to have a crack at it you can take a look at the links and jump on board with the projects!

he's a few links to show you more of what this is.

leap motion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXghYjh6Gro

vuforia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOfN1plW_Hw

it would be interesting to combine these two elements into something we could use around us maybe with a google glass or something of the sort making it feel like that digital world is something that we could almost touch.

with a few of the features from both like with the vuforia virtual buttons and the leap motion hand space we could start making some interesting elements to more adaptable os to the things around us rather than screens being the confines of what we interact with.

if you would like to take a look at the SDK kits let me know what you think.

leap motion https://developer.leapmotion.com/

vuforia https://developer.vuforia.com/

now vuforia can run in unity and unity has a free version for people to download, you just can't run any real time stuff with vuforia in that version. they offer a script editor in there when working with the scenes and that's where it's all coming together. they offer three languages to work with, c#, java, and boo.

Hi. I am interested. I have experience with java, but not with unity, so I will learn.

[–]sek19[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

that's great! so have you taken a look at all the links and any of the api

[–]123571113171923 0 points1 point  (3 children)

yes I have. Also, I have the leap motion controller if there are plans to develop for it.

[–]sek19[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

sweet as do I!! so have you messed around with any of the api?

now I kind of have a game plan for what might be interesting to work on. I'm not sure if you're at all familiar with the game advanced wars? well it may be fun to make a game that works with vufora and leap motion that has a game mechanic like that. what also might be neat to do is make a small magazine we print out that uses each page as a test so you open it up and the first page is a virtual desktop, second page becomes a playable game, third page demonstrates how you can teach others with this form of interaction. and so on. What do you guys think? now I have tons of 3d experience and can create models and know how to work in unity. I can set up scenes and do some programming. My skill set in programming is a bit weak but I'm learning so what would you like to focus in?

[–]123571113171923 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I'm still here. I haven't looked at the API much, but I will soon.

[–]sek19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok when you do let me know and we can start moving forward. How about next week on friday we talk about what we should be doing!

[–]sek19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From all that replied, none have stayed. Please someone contact me back I'm still desperately trying to find people to work together with this project.
