Augmented Reality with Corona SDK

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi everyone,

I discovered Corona a few weeks ago and i’m very impressive. It seems to be something very powerful and useful to develop on iOS and Android simultaneously.
Nevertheless, I still don’t know if I’ll use this SDK to create my application. My app will allow users to use camera to do augmented reality. It’s the critical point of my app.

So, my question is, is that someone has already try or use augmented reality with Corona ? Is that even possible ? On both platform (iOS&Android) ?
I just wan to know if it’s possible or if i’ll have to do native development for my app.

I looked into it, and from what I could tell, there’s no way to overlay an image over a live camera feed yet. If you can find otherwise, I’d love to know about it. [import]uid: 49447 topic_id: 23780 reply_id: 95703[/import]

Thanks for your answer. I’ll continue trying to overlay image over a live camera feed but I haven’t find a solution yet. That is my worry and that is why I am pessimistic.
If anyone have any idea… [import]uid: 136257 topic_id: 23780 reply_id: 95712[/import]

We currently don’t support any image overlay over video, etc. to be able to do augmented reality.

Native would be a better choice. IMHO.

The only non-native approach I know of is to use PhoneGap in tandem with Layar… however it’s not an exact process yet. Carlos’ suggestion of going native may be the best, although perhaps not the easiest if you are doing cross platform development. [import]uid: 49447 topic_id: 23780 reply_id: 95752[/import]

You can use Titanium Appcelerator.
It compiles to Android and iPhone and uses a javascript like lingo.

I’ve done image overlays over a camera feed with no problems and you can also find working example of augmented reality in their kitchen sink example.

Thanks! I remember looking at them quite a while ago, and forgot since. I’ll have to take another look. [import]uid: 49447 topic_id: 23780 reply_id: 95849[/import]

Thanks for your answer Shahar,
I downloaded the Kitchen Sink on my Galaxy S running 2.3.3 Gingerbread and I can’t find any RA example…
Did you used ARti for your RA with Titanium ? ( http://developer.appcelerator.com/blog/2011/02/arti-source-code-released.html ) [import]uid: 136257 topic_id: 23780 reply_id: 96268[/import]

And currently ARti only works for iOS and only under the emulator, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4… [import]uid: 136257 topic_id: 23780 reply_id: 96269[/import]
