Outdoor AR Framework
 Outdoor AR Visualization
 OpenGL ES based scene rendering
 GPS, inertial, compass
 Component based Framework
 Easily customizable UI
 Supports various styles of apps
 Android (+ Web Tools)
 Free download on our website
 http://www.hitlabnz.org/mobileAR

SW Dev. Tools & Frameworks
 High-level content description
 AR Browsers
 Hard to customize app logic and UI
 Low-level functional modules
 Programming libraries
 Lack of higher-level abstraction of AR scene
and content (BYO)

 High-level abstraction and low-level
programming support in a seamless way.
 Low-level functional modules
- Flexible and highly customizable
 Ready-to-use high level components
- Focus on building the interface, behavior and
content of the application rather than system
integration
 The high-level and low-level tools share the
common scene (or POI) data structure
- Both skilled and novice developers can work
together under the same framework.

Apps built with OAR Framework

[GeoBoids 3D 2012] [AntarcticAR 2012]

Outdoor AR Library
 Customization by extending components
 Customized AR scenes
- Customize scene data structure
 Customized user interface
- Customize UI layout
- Customize UI behavior (e.g. onSceneSelected)
- Motion and touch gesture based interaction

Step-by-step Guide
 Setup the development environment
 Create an Android app
 Using the Outdoor AR Library in your app
 Adding outdoor AR scenes with 3D models
 Customizing UI
 Run on a Google Glass

Setup the dev environment
 Prerequisite
 Android Development Environment
- http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
- Eclipse, Android SDK
 Google Play Services Library (for maps)
 Download the Outdoor AR Library
- Download, Tutorials, Forum

Setup the dev environment
 Import the library and sample projects
 OutdoorARLibrary
 SampleOAComponent
 Dependency
 Google (not Android) API 4.1.2 (API Level 16)
 Google Play Services Library
- extras/google/google_play_services/libproject
 Android Support Library 4
- extras/android/compatibility/v4/
android-support-v4.jar

Create an Android app
 Create a new Android Application project
 Blank Activity
- “An activity is a single, focused thing that the user
can do.” – Android SDK API Reference
 Anatomy of an Android App project
 src
 res & gen
 assets
 AndroidManifest.xml

Using the OA Library in your app
 Add the Outdoor AR Library to your
project’s build path
 Add permissions in the manifest
 Add a new AR view (activity)
 Create a custom class inheriting
OAARComponentBase
 Add activity to the manifest
- Full screen landscape orientation
 Wire a button to start the AR view

Adding scenes with 3D models
 Preparing 3D model
 OBJ/MTL with JPEG or PNG textures
 OpenGL Coordinate frame
- X-right, Y-up, Z-out from screen
- North = -Z
 Placing the 3D model in the real world
 Latitude, Longitude
- http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html
 Optionally, elevation from the ground plane
 SketchUp – 3D model on Google Earth

Adding scenes with 3D models
 Adding 3D models to the project
 assets/OutdoorAR/3Dmodels/name/model.obj
 Adding scenes to the data manager
 Override onSetupScenes()
 Handling the scene selection event
 Override onSceneSelected()
 Using a mock location
 Override onCreate()
 Sensor manager’s enableMockLocation()

Loading and managing scenes
 Add scenes by code – difficult to manage
 Load from assets or local file storage
 OADataManagerAssets
 OADataManagerLocal
 SQLite or XML file
 SQLite Database Browser
 Default path
- (assets/)OutdoorAR/scenes.db
- (assets/)OutdoorAR/scenes.xml

Custom scene class
 OAScene
 Lat/Lon, 3D model, Name, Description,
Category
 Custom scene classes extend OAScene
 Override OADataManager’s loadScene()
to load in custom properties of your scene
 Cast OAScene to your custom class in
onSceneSelected() or onTouchedScene()
 Different scene classes can live together
- if(scene instanceof MyCustomScene)

Customizing UI
 Add layout resource
 Override setupUILayout()
 LayoutInflater - read in the layout res file
 addContentView() - overlay UI layout on top
of AR view
 findViewById() - get reference to the UI
elements
 onSceneSelected() vs. onTouchedScene()

Map and List views
 OAMapComponentBase, OAListComponentBase
 Similar class structure with OAARComponentBase
- Load scenes from a data manager
- setupXYZ() methods
- onSceneSelected() callback
 Map components needs API key
 Google Maps Android API v2
- OAGoogleMapsV2ComponentBase
 https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/an
droid/start

Run your app on Google Glass
 Startup with AR
 Set AR view as a launcher activity in the app
manifest file
 Aim to select
 Use Timer to trigger touch events at the
center of the screen
 Override onResume() and onPause() to
start/stop the timer

Other tips for Google Glass
 Touch gestures
 onGenericMotionEvent()
 Swipe forward/backward/up
 Tap, double tap, tap and hold, etc.
 Head motion
 Add orientation listener to sensor manager
- getSensorManager().addSensorListener()
 Avoid conflicts with AR scene viewing motions
- Time-outs

Other tips for Google Glass
 GPS not on Glass
 Pair with Phone then use remote provider
 Stream location from a phone through
Bluetooth
 Mock location
 Turning off camera background
 Application dependent
 Override setupOptions()
 enableCameraBackground()
