Augmented Reality Chestburster T-Shirt

Hi guys!

We have made an Augmented Reality T-Shirt with an appropriate Alien theme
as a fan project that I would like to show you.

I Started a thread on ZBrushCentral aswell so I will point You there for the "Making Of"
pitures instead of cramming them here aswell.

How has qualcom been for you in your experience? When i joined my studio a year ago that just started up, we were focusing on augmented reality gaming for ios and android...we ended up cutting out ar development because the qualcom plugin for unity at the time just wasnt stable enough...too much jumping and difficulty reading targets...ive always wondered how qualcom has advanced since then

Thanks guys!

We had the same experience a year ago. But we have found it to be more of a hardware problem then a AR software problem.

New devices like Galaxy 2 and up, ipad2 and up and iPhone4S is very stable and able. We use the antialiasing features of Unity that drops the performance on iPhone4 to about half the speed. So it is not great yet, but within 6 months I predict a very stable simulation across current gen devices. Remember that the quality of the videosignal and lighting conditions also has a lot to do with the tracking.

Also getting a good tracking image is crucial. We Don´t use the "binary cube pattern" fiducials as the whole pattern needs to be seen by the camera to track.We want to be able to get up-close without the sim to loose tracking.

Our tests and demos show a really stable track in good lighting conditions.

Here is a demo of a lowpoly city..

Attached is a picture of a contraption I built to be able to capture what the iPad is doing. You slide the iPad in the bottom and a camera/smartphone up top and film through that. Dumping out live video at the same time as tracking would probably have to wait a while.

We thought it best to make a new fiducial/tracking image in order to not get sued!
