6. Augmented reality is a term for a live direct or indirect view of a physical real-world
environment whose elements are merged with, or augmented by virtual-generated imagery
creating a mixed reality. Source: Wikipedia
Augmented reality is characterized by the incorporation of artificial or virtual elements into
the physical world, in real-time.
In short – “Make cool 3D stuff follow a marker”
1999 - ARToolkit is released
Developed by Hirokazo Kato at the HITLab and is demoed at SigGraph later that year.
2009 - FLARToolKit is released
ARTollkit ported to Adobe Flash (FLARToolKit) by Tomohiko Koyama, aka Saqoosha
From NyARToolkit(Java ported version of ARToolkit) bringing augmented reality to the web
browser. First version was released in May 2008

7. Projection
Perhaps the most common type of augmented reality, projection uses virtual imagery to
augment what you see live. Televised sporting events frequently utilize this type of augmented
reality. Projection can also be interactive. IE Virtual or projection keyboards.
Recognition
Recognition is a type of augmented reality that uses the recognition of shapes, faces or other
real world items to provide supplementary virtual information to you in real-time for example
a marker.
Location
location uses triangulation technology, such as GPS, to instantaneously provide you with
relevant directional information. For example, you can use a smart phone with GPS to
determine your location, and then have onscreen arrows--superimposed over a live image of
what's in front of you--point you in the direction of where you need to go.

12. How it Works
Flash and AR
1. Webcam Captures video stream containing AR marker
2. FLARToolkit analyzes image and finds outer rectangle
3. FLARToolkit calculates 3D position of outer rectangle
4. FLARToolkit looks for inner marker in the pattern list
5. You use transform matrix to transform a 3D object
Building your application
1. Initialize new FLARManager instance from XML file
2. Add FLARmanger instance to the display list
3. Setup FLARMarkerEvent handlers
4. Setup 3D scene
5. Render the scene in an enterframe loop
6. Retrieve transform matrix from marker
7. Apply that transform to 3D object
13. Open Source Version
FlarToolKit has an open source version that can even be used for applications that make a
profit.
FlarManger Framework
You have an option of using FlarManger which is an open source framework that handles all
the AR tracking and set up.
Reliability
A number of applications have been developed using Flash its proved and not a new framework.
Community
Flash has a strong community, which provides support, source files, examples , and much more.
Development time
Much faster development, good for prototyping, very flexible, offers more features, easy to maintain.
Benefits!

17. Tips & Tricks
Beyond the session!
Make it fun - Your application should be fun, exited and engage the user.
Obvious - Talk thur the language of the application, no need for instructions
Keep it simple – Your application should be simple.
Don't over complicate things – Don’t add to much objects on the screen.
Understand your limitations – AR has limits, you need to understand this.
Performance is vital – Make sure you get as much performance always optimize.
Brand charter - Add a charter to your application, find ways to personalize the application.
The 3 “U'” - Understand your platform Understand your game type Understand your user.
