Developing with Vuforia A Vuforia SDK-based AR application uses the display of the mobile device as a "magic lens" or looking glass into an augmented world where the real and virtual worlds appear to coexist. The application renders the live camera preview image on the display to represent a view of the physical world. Virtual 3D objects are then superimposed on the live camera preview and they appear to be tightly coupled in the real world. An application developed for Vuforia will give your users a more compelling experience: See Best Practices for tips on creating unique experiences that leverage the features of the Vuforia SDK. This diagram provides an overview of the application development process with the Vuforia platform. Vuforia Components A developer uploads the input image for the target that he wants to track. Accessed from a cloud target database using web servicesDownloaded in a device target database to be bundled with the mobile app Vuforia supports your development efforts with the following:
.:: Phrack Magazine ::. Comment utiliser un smartphone Android comme webcam sur votre ordinateur (Windows, Mac et Linux) ? La webcam est une fonctionnalité que l'on prend pour acquise sur la plupart des ordinateurs portables, mais pour les fixes, c'est une autre histoire et des caméras de qualité peuvent parfois coûter assez cher. Pour remédier à cela, des outils permettent de transformer son smartphone Android en une caméra pour son ordinateur. Voici comment faire. Vous avez un entretien d’embauche à distance dans une heure, mais votre ordinateur n’a pas de webcam ? La solution qui vous viendrait surement en tête serait de se dépêcher de se procurer une caméra à brancher en USB. Mais il y a une solution qui peut s’avérer bien plus pratique : utiliser son smartphone. Android propose différentes solutions adaptées à Windows, macOS ou Linux. DroidCam Wireless : la meilleure solution pour Windows et Linux Parmi les différentes applications que nous avons pu utiliser, DroidCam Wireless Webcam est clairement la plus efficace. Pour commencer, installez l’application depuis le Google Play Store. Connexion en USB

Darpa Turns Oculus Into a Weapon for Cyberwar | Threat Level A Darpa contractor showing off the Oculus Rift cyberwar simulation at the Pentagon’s Darpa Demo Day. Photo: Andy Greenberg/WIRED For the last two years, Darpa has been working to make waging cyberwar as easy as playing a video game. Now, like so many other games, it’s about to get a lot more in-your-face. At the Pentagon Wednesday, the armed forces’ far-out research branch known as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency showed off its latest demos for Plan X, a long-gestating software platform designed to unify digital attack and defense tools into a single, easy-to-use interface for American military hackers. “You’re not in a two-dimensional view, so you can look around the data. In its demo setup, complete with two motion-sensing Razer Hydra controllers for navigation, the user does more than swim. That sort of admission will no doubt set off alarm bells for critics of the American military’s increasingly aggressive posture on the Internet.

Virtual Reality vs. Augmented Reality - Augment News One of the biggest confusions in the world of augmented reality is the difference between augmented reality and virtual reality. Both are earning a lot of media attention and are promising tremendous growth. So what is the difference between virtual reality vs. augmented reality? What is Virtual Reality? Virtual reality (VR) is an artificial, computer-generated simulation or recreation of a real life environment or situation. VR is typically achieved by wearing a headset like Facebook’s Oculus equipped with the technology, and is used prominently in two different ways: To create and enhance an imaginary reality for gaming, entertainment, and play (Such as video and computer games, or 3D movies, head mounted display).To enhance training for real life environments by creating a simulation of reality where people can practice beforehand (Such as flight simulators for pilots). What is Augmented Reality? AR technology is quickly coming into the mainstream. Augmented Reality vs. Technology Purpose
MIT – Docubase | The open documentary lab Crean un mapa interactivo que muestra cómo se siente el mundo ahora El mapa fue creado por investigadores australianos del Instituto Black Dog y de la estatal Organización Conjunta de Estudios Científicos e Industriales (CSIRO, por sus siglas en inglés), que se dedican en particular al estudio de los trastornos del estado de ánimo. El mapa, llamado 'We feel' ('sentimos'), analiza millones de tuits publicados en todo el mundo y, a partir de estos, crea un gráfico que muestra cuántas personas en el mundo sienten alegría, amor, sorpresa, miedo, ira o tristeza. Monitorea cada día cerca de 27 millones de tuits, a veces llegan a ser hasta 32.000 tuits por minuto, buscando 600 palabras concretas que atribuye a seis emociones (sorpresa, alegría, amor, tristeza, ira y miedo) y algunas otras que clasifica en el grupo llamado 'otros'. El gráfico representa los sentimientos de las personas en el momento actual y en las últimas horas. Además se pueden ver estadísticas de diferentes regiones del mundo. Así se sentía América de Sur en transcurso del día sábado.
