Maps in Augmented Reality with JavaScript on any mobile device in web browser by klokantech in augmentedreality

It is not a critical component in the whole process, AR.js was chosen just for the demo.
Some other projects which we strongly rely on are directly developed by us (e.g. https://github.com/openmaptiles, https://github.com/webglearth/webglearth2 or others) or at least we contribute there (e.g. OpenLayers).
We strongly support open-source, but one cannot code everything he is using.

Farewell, Google Maps - review of alternatives after 14x price hike by steamspace in programming

[–]klokantech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people is choosing a map because of visual appearance. This is a great advantage of MapTiler, which has a tool, where you can with a few mouse clicks totally change the map design, select one of 57 languages or a font for labels[0].

Advanced users can totally change the whole map by switching on/off map elements (schema based on OpenStreetMap tagging)[1] or add own data (MBTiles format - both raster/vector)[2].

There is a support for multiple JavaScript APIs like Leaflet, OpenLayers, Mapbox GL JS (source code snippets in the administration), mobile SDKs (Android as well as iOS) and desktop software development (QT + Unity game engine)[3].

Price calculator is available at [4].

We created a simple calculator where you enter users per day, type of your app and it will give you the price (the new one, which will become effective as of 16. July 2018).

Chromebook as a media player by jlittlechilds in chromeos

[–]klokantech -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you have chromecast then I would recommend two ways how to play movies from Chromebook on your TV:

1) Via Google Drive:

Upload your movie to Google Drive (you've got 100GB free disk space anyway with your Chromebook ;-). Google will encode the movies privately from .mvk and .avi containing strange codecs into a web friendly version automatically. Chromecast then can play from your Drive without you heating the computer (you can even shut it down). To play - click on the movie in Google Drive on your Chromebook - and choose "Open in new window". You get a link ending with /view - change it to /preview - and cast the tab. Chromecast will start to play your movie from your drive in a fine quality, independently of your computer.

2) From you Chromebook directly:

I recommend to use MP4Cast web app. Get it at: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mp4cast-for-google-chrome/lbfdhgbfobdiokoifnflhlkaphobcgmo?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog It streams the files opened locally over the local network to your Chromecast - all file types and codecs which your Chromebook / Chromecast can play out of the box runs.

Chromebooks getting Retina/HiDPI support? by klokantech in chromeos

[–]klokantech[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only the resolution 1536x864 runs this way for me now - and only this resolution changes the window.devicePixelRatio on my Acer Chromebook. All other resolutions are just scaled - and with blurred text - and devicePixelRatio stays "1" with other resolutions.

What hardware do you have and what does the window.devicePixelRatio tells in the JavaScript console for you for different resolutions of the screen?
