ISMAR 2009 the world’s best augmented reality event starts in 3 days!
If you are still contemplating whether to go – check out what you might be missing on our preview post.
The folks from the Visual Media Lab at Ben Gurion University in collaboration with HIT Lab NZ are preparing a real treat for ISMAR 2009 participants.
Sketch recognition (already covered in our previous post) is a major break away from “ugly” markers or NFT (tracking natural 2d images). It is the dawn of user generated content for Augmented Reality, and an intuitive new interaction approach for changing the CONTENT overlaid on a marker. Big wow.
In-Place 3D Sketching
But the team lead by Nate Hagbi and Oriel Bergig (with support from Jihad El-Sana and Mark Billinghurst) is just warming up…In the next video Nate shows how any sketch you draw on a paper (or even on your hand!) can be tracked.
So are you telling me I won’t need to print stuff every time I want to play with augmented reality?
-That’s right! Hug a tree and save some ink!
Shape Recognition and Pose Estimation
But wait, there is more!
Nate says this demo already runs on an iPhone.
And to prove it, he is willing to share the code used to access the live video on iPhone 3.0.
(note: this code accesses a private API on the iPhone SDK)
Ready for the BIG NEWS?
For the first time ever, the core code necessary for real augmented reality “(real” here means precise alignment of graphics overlaid on real life objects) on iPhone 3.0 is available to the public.
To get access to the source code – send us an email.
May a thousand augmented reality apps bloom!

Amazing stuff. That destroyes the whole idea of the fiduciary marker and instead replaces it with a more natural input device – the pen.
Fantastic stuff.
I have seen components of this stuff before elsewhere…in 2d…without AR.
But to have it all together is very powerfull.
This is a wonderfull example of how amazing AR can be. On the fly sketching of ideas and designs, running simulations on these 3d sketchs and shareing the results in realtime….all possible very soon.

makes me want to join HIT Lab NZ or VML, whichever is closer :)
I know that I should put a comment but the truth is that I am speechless
Awesome!
Makes me want to learn iPhone programming! Is this code of any use for non-programmers?
hi
this is pretty cool.
There was a paper in ISMAR last year including Tom Drummond at Cambridge that put the powerful recognition and tracking algorithms sift and fern on a phone. That should really open up arbitrary objects for targets not just drawn shapes. Maybe this system does that already.
This is interesting, and a nice demo; but, the reporting here does seem to be a bit misleading in that none of these videos appear to be recorded from the iPhone. The sketch stuff, and the tracking off non-square markers, is cool, though (nice to see it out, they’ve been working on stuff like this for a while!). But, accessing video on the iPhone is slow, and the video quality sucks (nothing like the Tegra dev kit we used for ARhrrrr, for example).
Lots of folks have been doing AR on iPhone 3.0 (well, we have, and I know some of our partners have) (and, yes, we’ll have some demos in our pockets at ISMAR, too).
I’d love to look at their video access code, to see how it compares to what we have (and what we’ve shared with various of our partners over the past few months).

So, when will we see the demo / full-version in the appstore, cydia etc ?
