This is the latest website that I have had the pleasure of being part of the development team for. I took the lead on this project, lots of hours were involved in getting this one out the door in time, 70 hours in 7 days, that’s about 9 days work in a week.
I spent a couple of days testing out the FLARManager for FLARToolkit and created this basic combination lock.
If you get the symbols in the correct order it will give you a pound.
Build in flash, AS3, Papervision3D Public Beta 2.0 – Great White, FLARToolkit, FLARManager and published for Flash Player 10
Here is a video of it, if you want to try it for yourself don’t watch the video as it will spoil the game of breaking the combination.
You can try the demo for yourself if you have a webcam attached to your computer, Flash player installed and can print this symbol (PDF file) you then need to cut-out the black squares and place them on the outlines within the big black border, some of the black pieces overlap.
* you will need to allow flash access to your webcam when it asks (or right click flash and select settings).

Recently I’ve been trying to get my head round augmented reality in flash.
Here is a little demo of a globe…. It works quite well most of the time but does loose the image now and then.
I have been working from the source of this demo: http://www.boffswana.com/news/?p=392
And it’s quite easy to replace the object that is used once you get it all working.
I want to post some clean code with an expiation of what I think the code is doing, so hopefully ill have time to do that soon.
One thing that I have been trying to work out is how the data for the pattern is created, I’ve searched the web and had a look @ the FlarToolKit forum but it’s mostly in Japanese, so not had much luck.
All the demos I’ve seen use one of 2 patterns, so I’m thinking either is really hard to create or the people who know how to do it don’t want to let it out.
I have tried to create the data from the bitmap data of a movie clip in the library, but can’t get the values in the correct format; can anyone shed any light on this?
This mashes up a paperervision globe with the geo codes from yahoo maps.
All the data is obtained via a call to yahoo service that sends back some xml, then a point is put on the map.
