transmote speaks…

i couldn’t find the application/Main class after i download from SVN
then i try to import the project, it replies that the unzipped folder i select is not an Flex project.
I guess it is becz of missing “/.settings folder and .project and .actionScriptProperties files”

I can’t make the Vector class works

Though I’m using Flash cs4 IDE and FlashDevelop, both compiling for flashplayer 10 but I can only use you older version with Array in place of Vectors.

I’m running out of idea

Thanks for the great work ericsoco ,
it can now import into the Flex Bulider 3,
But when i try to compile , it seems not recognized the ” ” identified after the “Vector.”
and give errors
” 1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before lessthan. FLARManager/src FLARManagerExample_PV3D.as at line 33 , 36, 40 ,29 & 39″

I am using AS3 , is there any sort of plugin that i will need to install ?

Thanks !

hello ericscoco, thx for your help, i have update my Flext Builder to V3.02 and SDK to 3.2
i also add the new playerglobal.swc for player 10, however,

When i try to run the application
it gave the following errors

it seems it is complaining about FLARCameraSource.as @ 108
Could it not able to locate my Web Cam?

Thanks man

I was also having the same issue as rcnow.

The problem is when the FLARCameraSource tries to auto select the built in USB camera, I’m using a PC so that might be an issue with that.

The solution:
In the FLARCameraSource class change the line (around line 108):

this.camera = Camera.getCamera(i.toString());

to:

this.camera = Camera.getCamera();


Hi eric, how´re you doing? I had to download the flex trial version, but i got the PV3D example working in my PC. By the way, thanks for the great work.

@ericsoco – You should be able to dual license your work. Also have you modified in any way PV3D or FLARToolkit, if not I think it is a good idea to remove it from the repository, because it is a pain in the a** to download the svn, also having 10 times the repository of papervision3d for each deploy is not very nice for my filesystem (and me )

Cheers

Dear all,

I’m trying to replace the cubes in the PV3D example with several DAE models.

Does anyone have any experience with this and perhaps some sweet source?

@ericsoco – if you believe that you should distribute pv3d and flartoolkit with flarmanager maybe compile SWC files distribute those (not the whole tree).

About dual licensing – I’m not big expert but it is possible, there are many examples of software distributed under two.

This is useless, can’t compile in Flash IDE… what a waste of time

Hi!
it is great, there is a way to limit the quantitiy of detection by markers, i mean, if i put 2 same markers only one is detected. But i can put a lot of markers, but only one detection by marker at time.

Great, this is just what I’ve been looking for. Downloading now and going to experiment with it right away!

this is a very stupid question but where is the marker you used with your examples? can i just replace a marker throwing a new .pat file in the flex builder?

And finally (and coming from a different way) if i work with visual papervision http://www.juxtinteractive.com/work/vizualpv3d/ can i just ake an animated scene, put it on scene and make it work?? are there any warnings about it?.

Greetings from the end of the world, you’re developing a hell of a work.

Greetings! First of all i want to say thanks, this work is amazing and im always excited to play around using it! Im currently building a game using the FlarManager to control the player as part of a 2nd year University project.

A problem I have however is that the games frame rate is really low, 12fps. Now i spent some time playing around with the source from Mikkos Blog and I was able to get an average frame rate of about 30 which i was really happy about.

Before i begin diving into the code to try and optimise some areas, is there anything you would reccomend to increase the performance? My game only requires a single marker so I imagine taking the multiple marker detection out might speed things up a little.

Anyways any guidance would be greatly appreciated and thanks again for your work so far.

i wish i could edit that…

Hello. I am confused by the amount of pager on this it seems!

I am still having a lot of trouble, when compiling I get this in the output:

Error: Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: file:///C|/Users/larky/Desktop/flar2D/…/src/FLARCameraParams.xml
at com.transmote.flar::FLARManager/onFlarConfigLoadError()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()

Sometimes it simply says ‘Error’.

And I get these compiler warnings:

Warning: 1090: Migration issue: The onMouseDown event handler is not triggered automatically by Flash Player at run time in ActionScript 3.0. You must first register this handler for the event using addEventListener ( ‘mouseDown’, callback_handler).

…for lines 208, 214, 218 and 224.

Everything is where it should be I think. Any help would be great.

Thank you.

William.

Update: I now get no stream error, I get 1090 Migration Errors still. I can only find answers relating to people using as2 instead of as3 code in an as3 fla, but I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t have done that! I’m stumped, everything looks correct. :s

HMM, ok, I think I fixed the migration issue by simply renaming onMouseDown etc by adding an underscore to the start of each one, onMouseDown etc are protected names under AS2 maybe? Not sure. Now it compiles with no errors at all, but doesn’t do anything! It runs, camera activates, hold up marker and it doesn’t see it, or doesn’t do anything with it. I have tried different makrers. Im getting closer

Ooh, I think I am close. it must now be seeing the markers as I get ‘Error’ in the outpt window when I hold one up. I hope my rambling is ok, maybe this can help people in some small way if they experience the same problems.

Excellent work so far on this. You did a great job on simplifying the AR process. I’m having some trouble getting this to run outside of the location where the project resides. For example, I build a project (import your example or build one myself) and can run it from Flex Builder properly. However, when I copy the directory (debu, release, or entire project) it no longer works from that location. There is only a blank window. I’ve developed several Flex applications in the past and can’t say I’ve seen this problem before. Any ideas? Thanks and keep up the great work.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for providing us with this lovely wrapper [ and also, reminding me of one of my favourite gags from Airplane … I’m gonna build me a pterodactyl!!!!). I’m having a problem with webcam detection on my PC (am using a Logitech Quickcam) – which is detected as a Deskshare IP … but I get a blue screen I had a little hack around the FLARCameraSource class to see if I could resolve (didn’t get anywhere though) … but since I also have a Mac, I uploaded a test to http://www.spacemonki.com/fb4/FLAR001/ and whilst I get a blue screen on my PC, I have no probs on my Mac.

I’m now installing Flash Builder 4 Beta 2 (which is what I’ve been working with on PC) onto my Mac … and shall continue learning

What I’m trying to achieve is to demonstrate Augmented Reality as a way of doing True / False activities in eLearning. I develop eLearning models for law students … and I think Augmented Reality may offer a more engaging experience for say, trainee Solitictors, if they were given an envelope with a number of documents … lets say four, but only one has been correctly completed … their task is to identify the correct document … so what I could do, is have patterns on the reverse side of these legal documents … with each pattern triggering feedback video to appear telling them whether they selected the correct document, or why the document they selected was incorrect etc. Anyway, I just thought it was worth a little experimenting

Hey Eric – that’s worked an absolute treat So, in the spirit of Airplane Jive talk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRDOp6zypbM ) … cheers for cutting me slack jack – Chump wan help, chump git help. Jive ass dude gotta check out da brains on bread.

Muchly appreciated … right, now what’s happening … first the Earth cooled, then came the dinosaurs, but they got too big and fat …….

Doh … spoke too soon – having only had joy with my iSight camera on the Mac earlier, thought all was fixed when the camera worked on my PC’s web cam. Works perfectly on my PC now, but no longer works on the Mac.

Hi, I’m using your tutorial located here:
http://transmote.com/codeshare/FLARManager/dev/src/examples/FLARManagerTutorial_3D.as

and it works fine except the cube doesn’t sit on the marker. It moves with the marker, but the position is sort of up and off to the side and gets further away and closer to marker depending on the marker’s position. I have a feeling it’s related to the cameraParams / distortion correction stuff, but I have everything as it should be in that regard (I think). Any ideas on this? I had it working fine with FLAR toolkit, but with FLAR Manager I get this new problem.
Thanks for your help.

There is a small bug in the library, when the user doesn’t have any camera connected, FlarManager give an unhandled error (at least in Flash CS4) because Camera.names is emtpy, while if the camera is in use by an other application, it dispatch the error correctly.
I fixed it, since I do need this check, with this code in FLARCameraSource/initCamera:

this check dispatch the error event
if(Camera.names.length == 0)

Just before this line because this one throw the unhandled error
var names:Array = Camera.names

Hi. I have a small problem.
When i`m tracking the marker`s angles like this -> Matrix3D.matrix2euler(this._baseNode.transform); (this._baseNode = FLARBaseNode) i`m getting wrong numbesr of XRotation. When the marker is faced to camera it`s ZERO or something below, when i turn it to the TOP it must be >0, if i turn it to the floor it must be <0. Yes, it is. But Number are not smoothly displayed, like 0,2,4,6,7,9,11…..they dislyed like 0,5,14,24,35,56, 23, 12, -23, -45. So the 3D object is jumping.

What am doing wrong. I`m using this camera – http://www.testfreaks.co.uk/webcameras/logitech-quickcam-s5500/, is it ok or not. May be i have not enough ligh, but seems ok, i`ve highlited the marker and still the same problem with jumping on XRotation.

Any ideas?

Even Math.atan2(this._resultMat.m20, this._resultMat.m22) jumping from 3 to -3.
Strange.

Sorry about that, thx for link, will post there.

Hi,i know it is possible to retrieve the rotations value (X,Y,Z) from a marker matrix but my object dont seems to have any rotation applied to it when i try to get those values..

I am testing one of your file (tutorial3D) but when i try to get the rotation value of the cubeContainer, it always return 0 event tough it is transformed by the marker matrix and following correctly the marker

thanks for any help

Thanks for the quick answer !
Weel it seems that i get wrong values…maybe i am doing something wrong but here is what i get…

Showing the pattern0 from the folder to the cam i get 180 as rotationZ…shouldn’t i get 0 since the marker is showed like he is in the jpeg…facing up

with that in mind..i get rotationX and rotationY mixed up (visually)

Do you know a way to retrieve rotation value from a matrix ? (the cubeContainer matrix)

Hi Eric!
First, thank you for this great tool.

I am seeing SimpleCube.as in the Saqoosha StarterKit (SSK) and the cube seems to be static. In FLARManagerTutorial_3D() I see that the cube is moving all time. In the SSK the cube is very “solid”.

I thought that if I used a marker with 16 in resolution the cube would be similar to the SSK but I get the same.

If I will trye with a complex COLLADA model I think that the same “problem” would happen.

Is there a way to solve this? Maybe this isuue have a name, perhaps something with “matrix” word… I see that everybody in thisworld of AR use that word, but I’m not sure.

Eric, again, thank you for this tool, I’m learning and everything is easier.

Yes, is about twitch. I don’t know why the cube in FLARToolKit seems to be more static, as I said. I don’t know how to explain…

For example, look this (in FLARManager): http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/4080/88075233.jpg
And this (in SSK): http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/479/23017727.jpg

Do you see the cube’s displacement in FLARManager?
In SSK the cube follow exactly the same position and ther is not displacement.

I know that is something that I should to add in my code, but I don’k know what.

Thank you Eric.

You’re right! it’s only in my code, in FLARManagerTutorial_3D is perfect, sorry for the notice, I will compare the codes to see what’s wrong

cube.z + =20…
And my code now is fine.

Thank you Eric.

Hi Eric! How are you? I hope you’re great

I am doing an AR application with FLARManager. I have put 3 videos and everything works great… except on-line.
On-line the SWF show me an error: “Camera not found. Please check your connections and ensure that your camera is not in use by another application”. I increase the value in “FLARCameraSource.CAMERA_VALIDATION_TIME” to a very high number but the error still appear. After a while, I see something curious. In my SWF I added the “FrameRateDisplay();”. The preload starting and when the SWF ask me about allow the webcam I wait a moment until I can see the green numbers, when I can see, I accept the webcam and everything works, but if I accept before the green numbers, the error appears.

So, the question is if I can add a preload, for example, after the user accept the webcam, something like GE or if I can solve this issue somehow. I don’t know if maybe I need to preload the videos, for example… if I need, I don’t know how, My project is in Flex, the preloader is very simple (is a .AS) and just preload the MXML that contain the entire application. Thank you very much Eric.

This is a great manager!

Though I have a problem. I can’t run other ThresholdAdapters then DrunkWalk.
I have made a reference do them, and the image looks good debugging with thresholdSourceDisplay = true.

But the manager doesn’t detect any symbols and it prints a bunch of “Error” to Output.
I can’t find where the “Error” comes from either.

Sorry, the error actually only occurs with IntegralImageThresholdAdapter.
HistogramThresholdAdapter works fine, but that doesn’t produce a good image.

@eric — Ok, thanks! I’ve tried adding Mario Klingermann’s threshold adapter (http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000690.php) but I got the same errors as with IntegralImageThresholdAdapter.

I’ve noticed that I get a better appearance if I use a slow, but good threshold and only run detectMarkers() half of the frames. Letting your smoothing algorithm taking care of the rest.
Though at this time I’m doing this by using the build in bitmap threshold().

Hi and congratulations for you work.
I have a really simple question: for a peculiar reason, I need to force a new marker detection, so my FLARManager instance will dispatch a new FLARMarkerEvent.MARKER_ADDED (or any other type of events). How can I do this ?
THANKS!

hi folks!

we’d like to publish the link (http://ruppen.bekloppter.name) to our first Flash-based game called “ruppen airhockey”. it’s using FLARManager to control the paddle movement. many thanks for this great piece of software! we hope you’ll enjoy to play a round and get some goals!

greets,

Hello, I’m creating a short application with flarmanager but the 3D objects are unstable. They vibrate. How can I make the display more stable ? Thank you.

Hi, i´m doing an university project using AR and i´m having troubles to
find the updated file from svn related to the problem of USB cameras
usage. I realy need to solve this issue to complete my project.
Thanks for your excellent work, and I hope you can help me.

I forgot to mention that i´m using a MacBook Pro with Flash Player 10 and I want to use the Playstation 3 Eye.
Thanks

I´ve tried all your possible solutions but any of them solved the problem
Is there any incompatibility with the Playstation 3 Eye camera?

@erisoco – First of all, let me thank you for your availability to help!

There are no compliler nor runtime error messages. As I said before, I’m using the Playstation 3 Eye camera but when I run my app, my iSight camera turns on instead of my USB camera. I’ve already tried to increase FLARCameraSource.CAMERA_VALIDATION_TIME and also set the camera index manually with FLARCameraSource. manualCameraIndex. What confuses me is that I printed all the cameras captured by the Camera.names method, and the “USB Video Class Video” camera has the index value “2″, so I set FLARCameraSource.manualCameraIndex = 2 so that the USB camera could be used instead of the iSight.
Am I missing something???

Thank you again!

I agree with ericsoco, Try this site as3 code for devices http://bit.ly/cGc3uZ, Im not using Flex (but should be) and test to see if both devices show up. Hope this some what helps

Also there is security that can set to find all devices I will do more research for you because I remember seeing it, and ericsoco luv the work you’ve done and thx u again

@sophia try this seems it may be settings? http://bit.ly/HgzJQ

That´s the point!
The iSight is a USB camera and having more than one USB camera is a big problem because there’s no way to choose which camera we want to use.
Is there anyone using Playstation 3Eye on a MacBook and flash player 10?
Thanks again everyone

Hi, first of all thank you for all your work. It looks more than amazing and it is blowing my mind away!

I just had one question, I want to change the code so that an animation will be placed behind or within the marker. Let me give an example;

Let’s say you have a 3d design of some sunglasses, the sunglasses are placed horizontal so that the glasses are looking at you when you hold up the marker. I want to make that the legs of the sunglasses are behind the marker and the glasses itself are in front of the marker.

I tried to work with model.z = -100; and I think this is the good way because the design actually get’s smaller but it still display’s in front of the marker. Is there a way to solve this problem?

Thank you in advance.

@ericsoco – Thank’s for your fast answer. I must admit i’m still a beginner with this and I don’t understand what you mean with cut out the area of the video that contains the marker. With position it at a different depth than the 3D model, you mean using the model.z?

I’m very sorry but can you maybe use the sunglasses as example when you explain with some source code?

Sorry for the trouble. I understand how frustrating it can be when a noob walks in.

Thank you very much.

Hi all!
About the USB cameras detection. I´ve been trying the possible solutions posted here but any of them worked for me.
Is there any other way to solve it?
Thanks!
